In addition to the pyramids and the Sphinx at Giza, you can experience the advanced architectural techniques and religious views built by the ancient Egyptians at the Luxor Temple and the Valley of the Kings. In fact, the pyramids were built with a precision that was said to be "impossible" with the architectural techniques of the time, and it is still not fully understood how they were built. Standing on your own two feet in a place shrouded in mystery like this is truly romantic! 2. The feeling of traveling through time and space on a Nile River cruise It is said that "Egypt is a gift from the Nile," and the Nile River is inseparable from Egyptian history and culture. If you take a cruise ship down the Nile River, you will feel as if you have become an ancient king or queen. The experience of viewing historical ruins such as Luxor and Aswan from the river is sure to be a lifelong memory. 3. Uncover the secrets of mummification When you think of Egypt, you think of mummies! The ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife and developed techniques to preserve the body in perfect condition. Surprisingly, mummification involved salting and herbs, and took more than 40 days to complete. Learning about these elaborate rituals will give you a sense of the ancient Egyptians' deep respect for life and death. 4. Feel the universe in the starry sky in the Sahara Desert Egypt is home to the world's largest desert, the Sahara. Ride a camel through the golden sand dunes during the day and gaze at the starry sky at night... The moment you feel the silence of the desert and the grandeur of the universe at the same time is an experience where time stops. You may feel the reason why the Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations placed importance on the movement of the stars. 5. Egyptian food is surprisingly delicious! Egypt is not just about pyramids! In fact, Egyptian food is also excellent. The popular koshari (rice, pasta, and lentils tossed in tomato sauce and spices) is soul food that can be eaten like fast food. Falafel (chickpea croquettes) and molokheiya soup are also healthy dishes unique to Egypt. The aroma of spices and herbs is sure to whet your appetite! —— The mysteries of ancient civilizations, the vast nature of the Nile River and the desert, and exotic cuisine...Egypt is truly a "time capsule of the earth."
