WONDER We all strive to feel a closer connection with our surroundings, moments when we move beyond the physical and become truly emotionally engaged in an experience with all of our senses — a moment of wonder.

Wonder is a personal emotion, it’s about the heart and the mind, joy, surprise, curiosity and awe. Wonder can be a whole day or a fleeting moment.

Travel is about more than distance. It offers us not just a journey across the world to see new sights but to the heart of what it means to be human. It allows us to step outside our normal parameters and become enriched by what we encounter.

It presents us with limitless possibilities to become more than we were before.

At Scenic we celebrate the art of wonder through travel. Our aim is to elevate your trip from a mere holiday into a journey of discovery.

Never lose your sense of wonder.

Handcrafted by Scenic

THE SCENIC EXPERIENCE

A

In 2016 we celebrated 30 years in the business. We’re experts at what we do and we still love handcrafting extraordinary experiences for our guests, just as much as we did back in 1986.

– Our passion for quality travel is what sets us apart and we would love you to join us for our next journey.

Since our first coach tour along Australia’s Great Ocean Road, we have introduced journeys that cover every continent on Earth, travelling to over 60 countries across the globe. Our history in Egypt and Jordan dates back to 2006, while Africa was our first international touring destination in 1999.

Our handpicked staff never lose their sense of excitement for the trip ahead, from our Journey Designers, who use their expertise to curate experiences you wouldn’t otherwise have access to, to our tour representatives greeting each new guest at the airport on arrival.

Every trip is a unique opportunity to raise the bar further, and to exceed expectations – both yours, and ours.

Above all, we take pride in what we do. We go to the Nth degree.

Temples of Abu Simbel Comprising the World Heritage-listed Great Temple of Ramses II and the smaller one to his wife Nefertari, the temples of Abu Simbel are among the most famous and spectacular in Egypt.

To the ancient Egyptians, gods were seen as twinkling stars in the sky – and life on Earth was just one part of an eternal journey.

Witness extraordinary monuments to the afterlife such as grandiose pyramids and elaborate tombs, and learn about celebrated achievements of the living, forever documented on colossal columns adorned with hieroglyphs. This is the Egypt of your imagination. You may never look at the stars in the same way again.

Tombs and temples No journey to Egypt is complete without a visit to the underground mausoleums and ancient tombs of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings. In temple-strewn Luxor, you’ll see Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple, Luxor Temple and feast your eyes on the ancient cluster of sanctuaries, pylons and obelisks in Karnak, including the famous Temple of Amun and explore the lesser-visited temple of Ramses III at Medinet Habu.

Cairo’s treasures Cairo’s treasures abound, from ancient wonders such as the oldest pyramid in the world at Saqqara and the Egyptian Museum, crammed with priceless collections of countless artefacts, to the earliest Coptic Christian monuments in the Old Town and bustling Islamic Cairo, home to the 14th century souk, Khan Al-Khalili.

This is an adventure through time you’ll never forget.

The mighty Nile The world’s longest river is dotted with ancient wonders. Watch them unfold as you float gently past, with visits to Dendera, home to the Temple of Hathor, goddess of love, and the temples of Philae, Kom Ombo and Edfu, one of the bestpreserved ancient monuments.

In Aswan, the ‘jewel of the Nile’, learn about the Nubians, one of the earliest civilizations on Earth and see where the Nile runs clear and golden sands swirl against its banks.

Ancient marvels In Jordan, slices of the past collide. Follow in the footsteps of Roman emperors, Egyptian pharaohs, Bedouins and prophets. Created in the Bronze Age, Jerash has been inhabited for more than 6,500 years. In Amman, the ancient citadel stands commanding over the city, while Madaba is famous for its Byzantine-era mosaics. See where the baptism of Jesus reputedly took place at Bethany Beyond the Jordan, or where Moses stood on Mount Nebo, looking at the Promised Land.

Natural and man-made wonders The ancient ghost city of Petra, carved inside rose-red sandstone rock, is a World Heritage-listed Site full of hidden secrets and architectural marvels. The rock-cut facades, including the 2,000-year-old Treasury, will send shivers down your spine.

You will understand why Indiana Jones came here looking for the Holy Grail.

Cape Town to Cairo & Jordan Traversing the African continent from Cape Town to Cairo and on to Jordan is one of the world’s epic journeys. Start in Cape Town, track the ‘Big Five’ of Kruger National Park and witness the power of Victoria Falls. Marvel at the diversity of wildlife in the great game parks of Kenya and Tanzania. Discover Egypt’s ancient wonders and cruise the magnificent Nile in luxury; and in Jordan, man-made wonders are rivalled only by nature’s beauty.

South Africa and Victoria Falls Africa’s economic powerhouse is a place of enormous beauty and diversity. Cape Town, the country’s international hotspot, the animals of world-renowned Kruger National Park and the beautiful Blyde River Canyon are just a few of the highlights. Track the ‘Big Five’ – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo – and retire in luxury at the end of a day filled with excitement.

There’s nothing quite like standing in front of the world’s largest sheet of falling water. Victoria Falls isn’t just a spectacular natural feature, it’s also a place of immense spiritual strength and beauty.

Kenya and Tanzania From mass animal migrations so momentous that the ground thunders underfoot, to the snowcapped peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro,

Africa’s highest mountain – a trip to Kenya and Tanzania is the stuff safari dreams are made of. There will be plenty of pinch-yourself moments when you might wonder whether you are indeed dreaming.

Egypt and Jordan Stand in awe in front of some of humanity’s greatest creations. No pictures are able to convey the scale and magnitude of the Pyramids of Giza or the temples at Abu Simbel; neither will you ever forget the moment you first laid eyes on the spectacular Treasury at Petra.

Follow in the footsteps of the pharaohs as you cruise between Luxor and Aswan and admire the scenery, ancient monuments and life on the river. From your luxurious floating hotel you won’t miss a moment of the passing wonders.
