Travel story
Whenever you touch the empire of sand, time slowly alters its contours
The silence of the pyramids and the Mediterranean breeze cross paths on the journey
What you gather in four days is the very core of Egypt’s light and shadow

-
This is a four-day trip that travels from major sites around Cairo to the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, allowing you to encounter the diverse faces of ancient Egypt.
You will carefully visit the Giza pyramids and the Sphinx, the Step Pyramid of Saqqara, and the remains of Memphis, and in Alexandria you will experience cultures of different eras at museums, fortresses, and the catacombs.
By tracing the places where ancient stone ruins intersect with the Mediterranean culture carried by the sea breeze, the itinerary lets you quietly sense the depth of the civilization called Egypt.
Signature points
Classic sightseeing covering the pyramids and the ancient capital Memphis
This itinerary efficiently covers the Giza pyramids and the Great Sphinx, as well as Saqqara's Step Pyramid and the remains of Memphis in a single day. It allows you to understand the formation of ancient Egyptian civilization in three dimensions and offers a highly satisfying experience even for first-time visitors to Egypt.
Savor the charm of a Mediterranean city in Alexandria
In the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, you will visit a variety of historical sites such as the Graeco-Roman Museum, the Qaitbay Fortress, and the catacombs. You can experience cultural layers different from those around Cairo, adding historical depth to the trip on an axis distinct from ancient Egypt.
Four days of peace of mind with a guide accompanying you for travel and sightseeing
A Japanese-speaking guide accompanies you throughout the entire itinerary, smoothly supporting you from airport procedures to site visits. Because you travel between Cairo and Alexandria by private car, the burden is minimal, allowing you to enjoy the highlights of each place with confidence even in a short period.
