KUONI TRAVEL LAUNCHES 2008 BROCHURE FOR DUBAI, THE EMIRATES & OMAN WITH 9 EXCITING NEW PROPERTIES
Leading longhaul expert Kuoni Travel has launched its 2008 Dubai, The Emirates and Oman brochure.
At 92 pages, it features a superb range of properties throughout the region, along with exciting experiences ranging from camel riding and overnight safaris to skiing and world class golfing.
Nine new properties have been added including Dubai's first deluxe boutique property, Desert Palm, and the luxurious new Evason Hideaway and Spa at Zighy Bay in Oman. Set amongst green fields and palm trees rising from the dramatic desert landscape, Desert Palm is a stylish, exclusive oasis near the centre of Dubai. An ideal retreat from the bustle of the city, it has an innovative 'Lime' spa offering tempting treatments, exciting cuisine and cocktail bars – and encompasses no less than four polo grounds – along with tennis, an infinity pool and squash also on offer. Accommodation is in chic suites and villas, each the ultimate in privacy, designed with elegance and grace. The Evason Hideaway and Spa at Zighy Bay in Oman is due to open in late 2007. With 82 villas, the property is located in a secluded fishing village on the northern Musandam Peninsula, set between dramatic mountains to the rear and broad sandy beach in front. With its signature Six Senses spa, an uncompromising standard of luxury and style, this will be an exclusive new retreat and a stylish addition to this increasingly popular destination.
Commenting, Mark Robson, Product Director, Kuoni UK says ‘The Emirates, including Dubai, and Oman continue to be extremely popular destinations for Kuoni clients and with such a wide range of additional exciting properties we expect to see their popularity rise still further. Whether customers are looking for a quality beach holiday for the family, a romantic boutique retreat or a luxurious long weekend, they will be able to find it within the pages of the brochure, and whatever activities they want to pursue, from skiing to desert safaris; shopping to sunbathing and cultural tours to culinary feasts, there is something to suit all tastes. Combined with excellent air access, superb service and a reliable climate, this makes for a winning combination.'
