From starry desert nights to Nile-side luxury, here’s your mini-guide to the most vibey, romantic spots for your honeymoon around the MENA region. All you need to bring is your partner and a camera roll to fill.
Memories Aicha Luxury Camp – Jordan
A Martian honeymoon, but make it cozy.
Tucked into Wadi Rum’s red valley, this spot looks more like a Mars colony than a campsite. By night, you’ll be stargazing from bed through a panoramic transparent roof.
By day, it’s all desert views from your private deck, where the only reminder you’re still on Earth is the dreamy oriental furniture. Otherworldly doesn’t even cover it.
Sofitel Legend Old Cataract – Egypt
Where royalty and Agatha Christie checked in. Set on a pink granite cliff in Aswan with front-row seats to the Nile, this hotel is pure old-school glam. French-Egyptian interiors, palace suites, and views that belong in a movie. It’s iconic, timeless, and totally honeymoon-worthy.
Al Maha Desert Resort – UAE
Desert luxe with floating breakfast vibes. Private Bedouin-style villas with plunge pools, candlelit dinners in the dunes, and gazelles that might casually drop by. Al Maha is the kind of place where you wake up to desert silence and go to sleep under a sky full of stars.
Ksar Char-Bagh – Morocco
Marrakech, but like, ultra chill. Hidden in the Palmeraie, this palace-inspired retreat is all about the little things: silver room keys, scented candles, and hammam sessions that reset your soul. Bonus: a dreamy pool situation and the friendliest staff.
Six Senses Southern Dunes – Saudi Arabia
Next-level desert escape. This one’s for the couples who want remote, untouched, and romantic. With Nabataean-inspired design and private villas surrounded by endless dunes, it’s all about wellness, desert sunrises, and dinners inspired by ancient trade routes.
If your honeymoon mood board includes deserts, rivers, domes, and luxury, the MENA region has it all. You just have to pick your vibe.
