Travel story
The desert light shimmers and old memories gently awaken
Overlapping the flow of the Nile is the quiet breathing of temple shadows
From south to north. Seven days tracing the heartbeat of civilization


This is a seven-day journey traversing Egypt from south to north, starting from the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara, then on to Abu Simbel, Aswan, and continuing to Luxor via a Nile River cruise.
In Aswan you will visit the Philae Temple and the Unfinished Obelisk, and on the cruise you will carefully tour riverside temples such as Kom Ombo and Edfu as well as the major sites on Luxor’s west and east banks.
Amid the intersection of monumental structures and the serene flow of the Nile, this itinerary offers a multidimensional experience that brings to life the depth and layered charm of ancient civilization.
Signature points
Cover the core of ancient Egypt from south to north in seven days
This itinerary efficiently visits representative ancient Egyptian sites from south to north—Giza, Saqqara, Abu Simbel, Aswan, and both banks of Luxor—allowing you to grasp the overall picture of the civilization even within a limited timeframe by balancing iconic structures.
Make the journey itself an experience with a Nile River cruise
Travel from Aswan to Luxor on a three-night Nile cruise, allowing you to leisurely enjoy the regional scenery from aboard the ship. You will naturally visit riverside temples like Kom Ombo and Edfu, reducing travel burden while enriching your sightseeing.
Deep understanding of each site with a Japanese-speaking guide
A Japanese-speaking Egyptologist guide accompanies the tour and carefully explains temple structures and historical contexts. It’s ideal even for first-time visitors to Egypt, as you can tour while fully understanding the highlights of each spot.
