Find your holiday to Naama Bay

They say: "Just five hours flying time from the UK, Egypt has everything; from its fantastic year round climate and abundance of ancient sites to explore, to the modern resorts on the Red Sea Riviera with their unbelievably clear blue waters which provide spectacular snorkelling and diving opportunities."

We say: "As the Euro-crunch bites, many holiday makers are looking outside the Eurozone for 2009, and Egypt is receiving a lot of attention. Thomas Cook’s program focuses on resorts, Cairo and Nile Cruises (with sight-seeing of course). Beach holidays, and active and watersports holidays, are available too."

They say: "Exclusive locations, manicured grounds and glamorous pools – they’re the hallmarks of a Platinum property. Each one is either 4 or 5 star and they’ve all been rated ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ by at least 90 per cent of our customers. In fact, with this range the only thing that isn’t at the top end of the scale is the price tag."

We say: "160 pages of modern, upmarket hotels, mostly beachside (& including the Thomson Exclusive Sensatori Resort). Flights range from short hops to Spain or the Algarve, or further away to the Caribbean or Indian Ocean. Keep an eye out for holiday enhancements such as priority transfers and extra luggage allowance."

They say: "There are places in this world that are truly inspiring; from the awesome majesty of the ‘Rose-Red City’ of Petra, to the calm and tranquility of cruising along the ‘life giving’ River Nile. With Bales you can wonder at the iconic temples at Abu Simbel combined with the colours and spectacle of Oman. There are so many exotic places to explore."

We say: "Bales combines the most varied areas of Egypt, Morocco and Arabia in one tantalising brochure offering everything from hot air balloon flights to watch the sunrise in Luxor, to relaxing breaks in top class hotels in Oman."

They say: "Thomas Cook offers well organised holidays for couples, friends and families to enjoy, with sunshine and fun being the common factor. We have resorts offering Soccer School, Splash Kids and Superstar Stage Schools clubs too."

We say: "This brochure covers all your fave summer holiday destinations from Italy and Malta to Cyprus and Morocco. There are luxury hotel options, beach resorts, active resorts and best value self-catering packages too."
