| Aussie agents blown away by Scenic Egypt

EIGHTEEN excited Australian travel agents descended onto Egypt to partake in a spectacular 14-day Scenic Tours famil. Once in the ancient land of the pharaohs, the Aussies cruised the serene waters of Lake Nasser in Upper Egypt from Abu Simbel to Aswan, onboard the MV African Dreams. On land the group were spoilt at the Kempinski Resort at Soma Bay on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, and enjoyed a charter flight to Abu Simble to visit the temple almost entirely on their own. The group were also surprised by the team at Scenic with a special balloon ride at Luxor. According to Scenic, the agents’ response to the overall Egyptian experience was ‘extremely positive’, with most saying they were “blown away” by the “hospitality shown throughout”. Members of the privileged group are pictured above (from left) on the luxury Nile River Cruise ship, Sun Ray as they prepare for the Galabeya Party onboard: Hayley Lyson, HWT, Scone, NSW; Bridget Le Maitre, HWT, Leopold, VIC; Teisha Woolnough, Scenic Tours, NSW; Kimberley Hall, HWT, Belconnen, ACT; Karen Spencer, Go Tours Travel Eleebana, NSW; Saffron Russell, Travelworld, Alice Springs; Kelli Williamson, HWT, Mount Hutton, NSW; and Christine Gunning, Capital Travel Manuka, ACT.
