H2B and I are trying to decide what to do for our honeymoon. We have from Saturday 28th May until Wednesday 1st June next year child-free, which is obviously not a long time, but we haven't had any holiday together since 2005 and we want to make the most of it.

In 2005 we went to Egypt (Cairo and Sharm el Sheik) and absolutely loved it. We went to the Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum and a lot of the other cultural sites around the area. We always said that we would love to go back and see the other end of Egypt - mainly Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.

I've been looking online and we can go away on exactly the days we need (Sat - Wed), stay in a luxury 5* hotel on the Nile and it's around £600 each. Brilliant! But then we got to thinking - if we do go to Luxor for our honeymoon it will be amazing, but not relaxing at all! The flight leaves at 9.15am on the Saturday from Heathrow and we'd have to get there 2 hours before, and we live 2 hours away from Heathrow as well! Then we'd have a day of flights and travelling, 3 days of activities (going to see the temples, valley, museum etc), then the flight home leaves at 7.20am on the Wednesday! So it will be quite a tiring break.

So the question is - do we take the opportunity to go and see the sights that we would love to see, but get back probably more tired then when we left, or do we just book a nice relaxing pool holiday somewhere else?

Sorry it's such a long question!
