Egypt is not just a place to go for sightseeing.
If your purpose is sightseeing, it is sufficient to simply stay at a luxury hotel on the Nile River, charter a felucca to watch the sunrise, return to the hotel to rest, and then ride a felucca again in the evening to watch the sunset on the Nile River.
But that's too cruel.
When coming from Korea, the flight time and cost are too much.

The motivation for choosing Egypt as a travel destination is probably to go back to the BC era.
Because Egyptian civilization is one of the four great ancient civilizations.
But once you actually arrive at the site, you will see countless temples, so it is easy to get confused.
The temple looks like the temple itself and it gets boring quickly.
This won't do.
So, you need to get help from good books.
Egypt generally begins on a map in the south (BC region), that is, upstream (at the source) of the Nile River, and follows the river toward the Mediterranean Sea, where modern times (AD region) are located.

Upon arrival at Cairo Airport, we will head straight to Aswan the next day to begin our exploration of ancient Egypt.
Starting from the Aswan Dam, we travel across the Mediterranean via Luxor, Cairo and Alexandria.
Now it's time to go home.
I like the idea of ​​finishing in Cairo.
This is the order from ancient times to modern times.

I prepared this book the way I did when I was in school: I previewed it at home, studied it in class, and reviewed it when I got home.
It's best to read (preview) before leaving for Egypt. If that's difficult, read on the plane, check thoroughly during the on-site class upon arrival in Cairo, and finish (review) on the plane when you return home.
Finish your Egypt tour by comparing the many photos included in the book.
It will be a meaningful and productive trip.
