Sun-filled holidays in Egypt, the Adriatic, or the Canary Islands
We've just started July, and the intense heat waves are already taking their toll. We need to look for alternatives. It's time to escape to cooler destinations: by the sea, in the mountains... It's about escaping the high temperatures as quickly as possible, but also escaping the daily grind. This week, we have several ideas that might be very interesting. These are suggestions that, in addition to enjoying unique experiences, can save you some money.
A great plan at a good price. Hurry, there may still be spots available at €329 per person (departing from Madrid). This is an 8-day trip to Egypt , visiting Luxor, Esna, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Aswan, and Cairo. Departures are July 12 and 26. It's true that it's a hot season, but at the same time, there aren't as many tourists as at other times of the year. You have to add the visa fee (€25) and tips (€100) to this price.
But international flights, domestic flights, transfers, and travel insurance are included. Plus, a four-night Nile cruise with full board. You'll also have accommodation and breakfast in a four-star hotel in Cairo. Temple and pyramid visits are provided by local Spanish-speaking guides.

Tenerife is always a good idea, and this hotel in particular is even more so. The 4* Hotel Puerto Palace is located in a quiet residential area of Puerto de la Cruz, in the north of the island. It's close to the beach and ideal for families, as it has two swimming pools for adults and one for children, as well as various sports facilities (minigolf, ping-pong, volleyball, tennis, basketball).
Includes round-trip flights from Spain, six nights at the hotel with half-board (breakfast and lunch or dinner), and basic insurance.
