The Next Middle East Holiday Hot Spot

Sept. 25, 2007 - PRLog -- With the increasing awareness of the United Arab Emirates as a fast-growing tourist destination, with its plans for the world’s tallest building, largest airport and man-made island, Peltours, one of the UK’s leading specialist operators to the Middle East, has launched a programme of luxury holidays to the Northern Emirates of Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah.

The Northern Emirates featured by Peltours promise to be the new hotspots for sun seekers looking for high-quality relaxation, as well as the more adventurous traveller.  Bordered by the stunning scenery of the Indian Ocean and the Hajar mountains, there are top class hotels, water sports, historic forts and souks, and an intriguing local culture.  With great weather all year round, the resorts offer an idyllic relaxing escape just 90 minutes drive from the bustling city of Dubai.  Prices start from £649 per person for 5 nights at the Fujairah Rotana Resort & Spa with flights from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Newcastle. Additional nights can be added to suit clients’ requirements, as well as short breaks in Dubai at 5 star Hyatt hotels from £65 per person per night.

Independent specialist Peltours’ 2008 brochure also features an extensive choice of year-round holidays in Egypt and Jordan, with deluxe Nile cruises and golf breaks at Taba Heights.  The company has been running trips to Egypt since 1920 and this remains the backbone of its programme, with a wide choice of holidays and breaks to suit all tastes and requirements.  Appealing to a discerning clientele, they combine top-quality accommodation and luxury Nile Cruise boats with new and innovative cultural experiences.

Peltours feature the resorts of Taba Heights, Taba, Sharm El Sheikh, Nuweiba, Hurghada and Ain Soukhna on the Red Sea, offering a wide selection of four and five star hotels and spas, and all-inclusive family-friendly hotels with children’s activities.  Peltours has direct flights from Gatwick and Manchester with 7 nights half-board at the 5* Marriott Beach Hotel Taba Heights from £389 per person, with early booking discounts.

Deluxe Nile cruises are a major part of Peltours’ programme with top-of-the-range products and exclusive itineraries exploring the cultural heritage of the Nile.  Four new boats have been added this year, including two boasting intimate, all-suite accommodation.  The best-selling 13 day Egyptian Voyager itinerary blends history, relaxation and culture from £1,429 per person.

Another highlight of this year’s programme are the golf packages at the new 18-hole PGA championship course in Taba Heights with 7 nights half-board at the 5* Marriott from £689 per person including the Silver Golf Package. Premium Class upgrades from £149 return include baggage allowance up to 30kgs - ideal for golfers.  See  http://www.peltours.com/golf for further details.

A unique 8 day itinerary featuring 2 nights in Cairo and 5 nights in the new resort of Ain Soukhna combines the wonders of Cairo with relaxation on the Red Sea, just 90 minutes away, with prices from £735.  Extra nights at both are available to suit clients’ needs.

Building on increasing interest in Jordan, Peltours offers a choice of breaks for both classical sightseeing and relaxation, from £899 for 5 days with flights from Heathrow by Royal Jordanian.  A new 12 day classical tour of Egypt and Jordan explores some of the world’s most spectacular historical sites in Cairo, Luxor, Amman, Petra and the Dead Sea plus a Nile cruise from £1,929 per person.  

Peltours has a wealth of first-hand knowledge of the resorts and cities they feature and experienced staff are able to recommend the right type of holiday to match clients’ requirements with great expertise in tailor-made itineraries.  There are a number of exciting pre-bookable tours and excursions from all the resorts, from day trips to explore the wonders of Cairo, Luxor or Alexandria, from adrenalin-fuelled jeep safaris and diving courses to a day of golf at Taba Heights.  It all adds to the holiday experience.
