Jaz Hotels, Resorts & Cruises has launched a new Egyptian Mediterranean beach holiday destination to the UK market in partnership with Thomson and First Choice.

Almaza Bay Resort near Mersa Matruh on Egypt’s Mediterranean north coast is home to three five-star Jaz resorts which will be featured in the Thomson and First Choice Summer 2010 brochures as part of Tui UK’s expansion into new resorts in Egypt.

The Jaz Almaza Beach Resort will feature in Thomson’s Beach Club Collection while its sister Jaz Oriental Resort will be included in the Thomson Platinum Collection. Along the same stretch of white sand beach, the five-star Jaz Crystal Resort features in the First Choice all-inclusive programme for 2010.

Holidays to the three Jaz properties will be offered on an all-inclusive basis with new direct weekly flights from both Gatwick and Manchester to Mersa Matruh from May 4, 2010.

The resorts are located on a beach front setting with family rooms, kids’ clubs, a choice of restaurants and plenty of leisure and beach activities. 

Peter Grace, vice-president, Jaz Hotels, Resorts & Cruises, said: “Opening up Mersa Matruh to the UK market represents a new and exciting proposition for Jaz and we are delighted that Thomson and First Choice have chosen to feature Almaza Bay in their new 2010 programme and commence new charter flights in May 2010.”
