Recommended travel points

The ancient Egyptian civilization, which flourished for 3,000 years from around 3000 BC, has multiple eras, each with a different historical background and trends.
This is a sample plan that is accompanied by a Japanese guide who has studied Egyptology, which is perfect for understanding and enjoying Cairo, Giza and the many historical sites along the Nile River.

It is a full package that includes visa application support after arrival at the airport, hotel transfer, three meals during your stay, drinking water, and more.
Of course, you can customize the content and arrange visits to specific cities as you like.

From Memphis, known as the capital of the Old Kingdom of Egypt around 2686 BC - around 2185 BC, you will visit the Step Pyramid of Djoser, also known as the first pyramid, and begin your journey to explore ancient Egypt.
Afterwards, you'll visit the Giza district, which is home to many World Heritage sites, where you can get up close to the world's three largest pyramids and the Sphinx, and enjoy panoramic views.

On the 3rd ~ 7th day, you will take a cruise down the Nile River, which played a major role in ancient Egypt, from Aswan upstream to Luxor, visiting several archaeological sites.
Developed along the majestic Nile and rivers, you can feel the life of ancient people in historical sites that span multiple eras.
In Luxor, you'll visit the magnificent temples of Karnak and Luxor, and visit the Valley of the Kings, the resting place of the pharaohs.

You'll have a great experience that will take you through some of the country's most amazing historical sites and give you a better understanding of ancient Egypt.
Based on the sample plan, we recommend that you try a custom-made trip that only Oooh can do.
