Find luxury holidays to Petra, Jordan

They Say: "With some of the most enthralling historical sites in the world, and beautiful scenery, both Egypt and Jordan offer an experience unattainable elsewhere. We have tried with our carefully selected hotels to explore every type of holiday, from the renowned 5 star Mena House in Cairo, to the wonderfully relaxing Evason Six Senses Spa in Ma’in, and to our collection of eco-lodges in both countries, offering the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of each of these fascinating destinations."

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: "Our worldwide holidays include some of the best loved and most coveted hotels and resorts in some of the most sought after locations in the world, covering all the continents."

We say: "Kuoni’s second edition of their worldwide brochure offers hundreds of holidays from luxury beach resorts in the Maldives to safaris in Kenya. Look out for Kuoni Plus offers such as earlybird savings, free upgrades and free extra night offers."

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."
