Scenic launches its new Egypt and Jordan 2019/2020 brochure with a brand new itinerary that takes guests to the ancient greatest wonders on Earth – the 14 day Egypt in Depth tour and cruise.
From the majesty of the Great Pyramids of Giza, to cruising the Nile on the luxurious boutique Sanctuary Sun Boat III, a Scenic Special Stay in the ancient city of Luxor, to a two night stay on the Red Sea. This itinerary offers a truly unique way of discovering the otherworldly beauty of the lands of the pharaohs.
Unique to Scenic is the inclusion of all three palace hotels – Marriott Mena House, Sofitel Winter Palace Luxor and Sofitel Old Cataract Aswan. These are properties of outstanding quality and character with the pinch-yourself-views of the pyramids from your hotel veranda at the Mena House Hotel in Giza, to the sweeping views of the Nile from the Old Cataract Aswan – where you can sit on the balcony much as Agatha Christie did when writing her novel –Death on the Nile.
Scenic also includes a visit to Abu Simbel, one of Egypt’s most magnificent museums as part of its regular itinerary. Abu Simbel is made up of two massive rock temples originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC. They serve as a lasting monument to the king and his queen Nefertari. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968, following the creation of Lake Nasser, when the entire site was carefully cut into large blocks dismantled, lifted and reassembled in one of the greatest challenges of archaeological engineering in history.
True to its heritage, no Scenic program is complete without a luxury cruise and there is none better on the Egyptian waterways than the Sanctuary Sun Boat III. Catering to just 34 guests this recently refurbished Nile Cruiser evokes the heyday of Egypt’s past with its exquisite spaces, fine dining options and Sun Deck with swimming pool.
And new to the market is Scenic’s inclusion of a stay on the Red Sea in luxury at the Kempinski Soma Bay Resort on the shores of the Red Sea. Guests can relax and enjoy a day of leisure poolside or beach side, and enjoy Scenic Sundowners as the sun sets and spills an ocean of colour across the dramatic desert and sea scapes.
