A BRAND new resort is set to bring the best of 21st Century holidaymaking to the Land of the Pharaohs.

Club Med is opening its multi-million pound new flagship resort in Egypt's picturesque and historic Sinai Bay in December.

The 27 hectare Club Med Sinai Bay resort is on the shores of the Aqaba Gulf and has a 600 yard stretch of untouched private beach.

Nestled in historic Sinai the resort is handy for tourists who want to explore the beauty of Egypt and Jordan.

Whether you are a couple wanting a bit of luxury, an adventurer wanting to dive in the Red Sea and a safari in the desert, or an history buff champing at the bit to see St Catherine's Monastery and the Troglodyte city of Petra, Club Med Sinai has it all.

Sports lovers will have the pick of four specialist academies in golf, diving, tennis and sailing. A spa, Cinq Mondes, also provides a fitness centre, a hammam and spa.

And the resort has been specially built to be as family friendly as possible with children's clubs, 33 60m family rooms, childcare, and the first ever Club Med restaurant just for children.

The new resort has 315 Club Rooms, 33 Deluxe Rooms and 14 suites and there is also the Trident luxury spaces within the resort.

There are also two fine dining restaurants and three bars to while away the nights, all with an extensive wine list and foods for every taste.

Laurent De Chorivit, managing director of Club Med, said: "We are delighted to launch Club Med Sinai Bay - it is the ideal resort for those in search of privacy, bespoke services and pure indulgence. The resort fills a much needed gap in the premium market in Egypt and not only offers comfort, quality and luxury services."

The resort is set to open in early December and there is a host of offers to stay at the resort which will save holiday makers hundreds of pounds.

The first to book can get seven nights for £817 per person in January which is an £180 saving.
