Egypt from León
The following links open in a new tab.
Egypt needs no introduction, and being able to fly directly from León is a rare luxury. It’s not every day you can close your front door and head straight to the airport without complications — but this time you can. In the blink of an eye you’ll be landing in Luxor.
Upon arrival, the team will greet you and, after completing the entry formalities, take you to the cruise ship. Along the way you’ll quickly realise that Egypt is far more than pyramids and monuments: it’s a country alive with culture, deep-rooted traditions and landscapes that surprise at every turn. For four days you’ll sail along the Nile, the lifeline that witnessed the rise and fall of civilisations, as the sun paints its waters with colours no filter could ever capture.
Luxor awaits, with temples whispering secrets of pharaohs and gods; Aswan, where time pauses between the desert and the mighty dam; the Temple of Karnak, one of the largest and best-preserved religious complexes of Ancient Egypt:
more about the Temple of Karnak; and Cairo — raw, vibrant and unfiltered — with the Pyramids of Giza that are far more than a postcard image: they are the echo of a past you can feel in every stone.
Your comfort is guaranteed: choose from accommodation ranging from cosy to exclusive, and enjoy full board throughout the trip so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the journey.
This trip is for anyone who values a smooth start and wants to experience Egypt with all senses wide awake. Don’t postpone the journey you’ve been dreaming of — your adventure begins on 17 November from León.
Secure your place now and get ready to walk where the gods were born.
