Corinthia Group subsidiary CHI Hotels & Resorts (CHI) and Egyptair have announced a joint initiative to launch and establish Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt as a new and exciting holiday destination for the Maltese public.

Egyptair's Malta manager Tony Vella gave details of the revamped services available to their passengers. Travellers can now fly directly to Cairo on Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday, affording them the possibility of two-, three-, five- or seven- night stays. This makes a combined Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh holiday much more accessible to those who do not wish to spend their entire stay in either of the two locations.

Flight timings are convenient, with passengers leaving in the early afternoon and arriving in Sharm el- Sheikh on the same day through a fast Cairo connection from the recently launched Terminal 3.

Egyptair and CHI are jointly offering a value-for-money holiday package at the CHI-operated Tiran Island Hotel Sharm el-Sheikh, which is Egypt's top tourist destination. The destination offers all-year- round sunshine, exceptional nightlife, as well as unique underwater experiences for divers and snorkelers.

CHI regional director of sales Nicky Borg detailed the many services and amenities available at the four-star 335-room Tiran Island Hotel. The hotel is the first of three hotels that will eventually also include a five-star Corinthia Hotel to form the Corinthia Beach Resort Sharm el-Sheikh, with close to 2,000 beds. Facilities at the hotel include a lagoon swimming pool with sunken bar, extensive leisure facilities for all the family, a sandy beach and dive centre, various restaurants and bars.

Bedrooms are spacious and well furnished, with balcony and views of the pool, the sea or the desert mountains. An animation programme is available throughout the season. The hotel is conveniently located just 10 minutes away from the airport and 15 minutes away from popular Nama Bay.

For details on offers by Egyptair and CHI Hotels & Resorts one may contact the Egyptair office at Malta International Airport or any local travel agent. More details on the Tiran Island Hotel are available at www.corinthia.com.
