welcome to arabia
Welcome to a magical land of fables and legends, where fantasy and reality merge. Welcome to a land of outstanding natural beauty, from the sun-kissed golden beaches to the endless desert dunes. Welcome to a land of luxury and indulgence, renowned as much for its timeless traditions of hospitality, as it's spectacular world class architecture and service.
dear traveller,
As the spectacle of Dubai continues to grow as one of the world's leading holiday destinations, other Emirates are also emerging with fabulous offerings and the very best in new hotels. Towards the end of 2008 we will see the first hotels open on the reclaimed land of the Dubai Palms - truly exciting projects, which will take Dubai into a new era of tourism. In the meantime new hotels have also recently opened on the mainland and we are certainly pleased to include them in our programme this year as they too offer something unique. We are pleased also to welcome back the Al Bustan in Muscat, a long time favourite, after a year of extensive refurbishment. For further spectacular and exclusive development, travel to northern Oman where you will discover the luxurious paradise of the brand new Six Senses Zighy Bay. Lapped by the Indian Ocean and surrounded by the Hajar Mountains, it provides a true sense of remoteness in a spectacular setting. Another significant development for the region, is the introduction of the new Emirates Airlines service from Newcastle to Dubai - a popular addition to the extensive Emirates network, which also enables convenient onward travel further afield, some examples of which can be found in the multi-centres section. Whichever resort you choose, we are here to help, recommend and guide you through the process, or you may choose to book online at www.kuoni.co.uk. Wishing you a wonderful holiday to this fantastic part of the world with our very best service. Our warmest regards,
SUE BIGGS Managing Director
