Egypt from León
Egypt hardly needs an introduction, and being able to leave on a direct flight from León is a rare privilege. You don’t often get to close your front door and board the plane without hassle; this time you do. Before you know it, you’ll be in Luxor.
Upon landing, the team will welcome you and, after immigration formalities, transfer you to the cruise ship. Along the way, you’ll realise Egypt isn’t just about pyramids and monuments — it’s a country bursting with culture, deep traditions, and landscapes that surprise at every turn. For four days you’ll sail the Nile, the lifeblood that saw civilizations rise and fall, while the sun paints its waters with colours no filter can capture. Don’t forget your camera!
Luxor awaits, with temples whispering secrets of pharaohs and gods; Aswan, where time stands still between desert and the mighty dam; the Karnak Temple, one of the largest and best-preserved religious complexes of Ancient Egypt: more about the Karnak Temple; and Cairo, raw and unrepenting, with the pyramids of Giza that are far more than a postcard — they’re the tangible echo of a past you feel in every stone.
Comfort is assured: you can choose accommodation ranging from comfortable to exclusive, and throughout the trip you’ll have full board, so your only worry is to enjoy.
This trip is for those who value a smooth start and want to experience Egypt with all their senses alive. Book your place for the departure from León on 17th November and get ready to step into a country that’s been waiting for you for centuries.
