Freechoice A

Each guest is different, so we appreciate that you may want to move at your own pace. Perhaps you’ll want to follow a busy day with one at a more relaxed tempo, or you may wish to truly unwind throughout.

We’ve divided our extensive list of Scenic Freechoice activities into active, moderate and relaxed pace so you can choose those which best suit your requirements and interests.

Active – For the more adventurous, keen to explore further afield or take part in more energetic excursions.

Moderate – A comfortable walking pace at which you can easily discover a beautiful city or marketplace.

Relaxed – A slower pace to enjoy a spa treatment, cooking class or wine tasting tour.

Whether you’d like to explore the world’s oldest pyramids or more recent history at El Alamein’s World War II memorials, take a spa treatment or witness underwater wonders in the Red Sea, Scenic Freechoice offers you a range of all-inclusive activities to choose from, at whatever pace suits you.

In Africa, choose from a Harley-DavidsonTM ride through the ‘fairest Cape’ and a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, or a walking safari with a Maasai warrior.

There is quite simply nothing more liberating or wonder-inducing than choice, and you’ll be encouraged to take full advantage.

And of course it’s all included in the price you pay upfront.

This is a journey through time you’ll never forget.

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 Luxor, you’ll see Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple and the grandiose Luxor Temple.

Ancient marvels History comes to life as you follow in the footsteps of Roman emperors, Bedouins and prophets. Created in the Bronze Age, Jerash has been inhabited for more than 6,500 years.
