Shores Made for Summer Sun We know a dose of summer sun and a change of scenery can do wonders. Especially when you’re with the ones you love. All you need to think about is where to go. If you’ve not decided where yet, take a look at our destination guide – there are loads of places to inspire you. From the Atlantic shores of the Algarve to the exotic delights of Turkey …

The Destination Lowdown

Further Aﬁeld

Close to Home

Fancy exploring a little further? Try the Canaries for size. As well as sandy beaches and adventure, they’re also home to attractions like Lanzarote’s Fire Mountain. Not far from here is North Africa where you can look forward to Moorish mosques and colourful souks in Morocco, golden beaches and millennia’s of history in Tunisia and the legendary Red Sea and unmissable sights like the Pyramids in Egypt. Plus, just off Africa’s west coast are Cape Verde’s islands of Sal and Boa Vista which have the sort of beach scenes that people ﬂock to the Caribbean for. Then in the Med’s eastern corner, you’ve got spots like Bulgaria, which has a big helping of mountain scenery and postcard villages, and Turkey, which pulls out all the stops with historic castles, show-stopping beaches and the A to Z of sports. Or of course, you could go Greek on a go-slow isle, Greece’s mainland or in sunny Cyprus.

You don’t have to look far to find your perfect escape. How about the Balearic isles - Majorca, Menorca or Ibiza? Unspoilt and unhurried, this Spanish trio promises laid-back beaches and fun. Or there’s the mainland. Spain’s not just famous for its beach resorts - you can also get caught up in the excitement of fiestas and flamenco dancing and tuck into tapas. Just over the border, you’ll find Portugal – an equally sunny spot with famous fairways, Blue Flag beaches and waterparks. If you want to get sub-tropical, though, head for Madeira. Nicknamed the ‘floating garden’, it’s all about wow-factor gardens, terraced hillsides and turquoise seas. Fly a little further east and you can hit Italy’s Neapolitan Riviera with its pastel-coloured towns and sights like Pompeii, or the jaw-dropping scenery and theme parks of Lake Garda. And last but by no means least is Malta. It may be dinky, but it packs in Italian-style food, buzzing harbours and castles to be king of.

Holidays Forever is all about our commitment to making a difference through sustainable tourism. We want you to carry on having great getaways for years to come, so we’re helping to look after the places you love to visit. There’s still a long way to go, though, and we’re always on the lookout for ways to improve. To show you we mean business, we’ve signed up to 20 commitments to sustainable tourism. You can check them out at holidaysforever.co.uk/firstchoice. To give you an idea, here are a couple of the commitments we’ve made…

Our commitment to greener holidays By the end of summer 2011, we aim to have half our customers checking into one of our greener Travelife-awarded hotels. In a nutshell, they highlight our properties that are going the extra mile to be greener and fairer. Keep an eye out for the logos in the brochure. And if you want to see how our hotels get a Gold, Silver or Bronze Travelife award, log onto our website.

Bronze is awarded to hotels that have reduced their impact on the environment and treat their people fairly.

Silver is given to hotels that meet all the bronze criteria and also play an active part in helping the local community and the environment.

Gold is awarded to hotels that demonstrate advanced sustainability practices, seek continual improvements and actively communicate their progress.

Our commitment to the World Care Fund By 2012, we’re hoping to have raised £10 million for The World Care Fund. The cash is given to projects in our holiday destinations that improve people’s lives, look after the local environment and produce renewable energy. For example, in Zambia, a hydroelectric plant has been set up, which means schools and a hospital have access to clean energy. Join our Holidays Forever campaign by going for a greener holiday and saying ‘yes’ to donating to the World Care Fund when you book your getaway. We’ll take care of the rest.

Before You Fly

In The Sky

9, 10, 11 & 12 Night Getaways We know not everyone can escape for a standard week or fortnight. That’s why you can getaway for 9, 10, 11 and 12 nights to some of our destinations. It means you can holiday on your terms, not ours. Look out for the logo on the hotel pages.

Food & Drink You can order a hot meal* before you ﬂy or buy a drink or bite to eat from our snack menu when you’re onboard.

Day Before Check-in Skip the airport queues by checking-in your luggage the day before. It’s free at Gatwick and Manchester and you can just turn up. At Birmingham, you’ll need to pre-book and a small charge applies. See our A-Z Guide for more info. Select Your Seat If you decide to pay extra to reserve seats together, you’ll get the added bonus of being able to choose your actual seat numbers free of charge. Our new Select Your Seat service lets you take your pick without paying a penny extra. We’ll email you two months before you’re due to ﬂy with details on how to do it. Babies Luggage We know babies mean lots of luggage. That’s why, with us, tots under two get a 10kg baggage allowance on top of a pushchair or car seat.

Your Flight

*Charges apply

Entertainment You’ll find comedy, music and drama all on the bill on our TV and radio channels. And if your flight is over four hours, you can look forward to a Hollywood blockbuster, too. Please see In-flight Entertainment in the A-Z guide for more details. Shopping Shop for fragrances, cosmetics and gifts at prices that knock the high street into touch.

Suitcase Space Depending on which holiday you book, you can check in between 15kg to 20kg of luggage. See the individual hotel pages for details.

* 22 UK airports from May-Oct, 19 UK airports from Nov-April. **Thomson Airways Customer Survey Questionnaire scores May-August 2010. †Source – Thomson Airways Operations. Statistic for May-September 2010.

Flights

Flying from an airport near you On your First Choice holiday, you’ll be whisked away on a Thomson Airways flight. It means you can fly from up to 22 UK airports*, and get away sooner. Plus, as you’d expect from the UK’s biggest holiday airline, you’ll get great onboard service. After all, a good flight isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s an essential. So it’s good to know that 95% of customers rated cabin crew helpfulness as good or excellent**. We do our best to make sure you get off on time, too. In fact, during summer 2010, over 90% of our flights took off within an hour of their scheduled departure time†.

Long Haul Flying At Its Best Go down the long-haul route with us and you can look forward to a superior ﬂight experience. You get more legroom in economy than BA, Virgin Atlantic, bmi and Monarch* and your own 7” seatback TV with free headphones and 5 movies each way. Look forward to a threecourse hot meal and snack, too. And if you book Premium seats, you get extras like even more legroom, on demand entertainment that you can ‘play, pause and rewind’ and free drinks, except bubbly. It costs from just £180. *Source: BATA website, September 2010

Kids’ Club

We understand when you’re choosing a holiday it’s really important to know your kids will have a great time. That’s why we created our Kids’ Clubs. You can relax knowing your little ones are having heaps of fun and making new friends. Just look out for the logo on our hotel pages to see where we’re running them.

Open for Longer

Peace of Mind

We’ve got clubs for newborn bubs, excitable primary schoolers and hard-to-please teens. In fact, when your kids see what’s going on in our clubs, they won’t want to leave. And, the good news is, because our Kids’ Clubs are open at least four hours a day, five days a week – some even in the evenings – they can play to their hearts’ content. Plus, in 2011, we’ve upped the Kids’ Club cool-factor. First Choice has buddied-up with DreamWorks and we’ve got neat games and activities based around the animated film giant’s latest flicks. Our club rooms have also been given a makeover and the new look has been given paws-up approval by Shrek, Princess Fiona and the Madagascar crew. And, some of the characters may even pop in to our Holiday Village Kids’ Clubs for a visit. If you want to join in the fun, why not come along to one of our Freeplay sessions at the crèche?

We take looking after your kids very seriously. That’s why all First Choice Kids’ Club Reps are First Aid trained, there’s a strict sign-in and out system and, in line with UK regulations, all our staff working with kids have an advanced CRB security check. Our clubs and crèches are run to UK standards by trained staff and at our Kids’ Clubs there’s always someone on duty with an NVQ Level 2 qualiﬁcation. Plus, all our crèche reps have NVQ Level 3 – or equivalent – qualiﬁcations. Many of the properties in this brochure have hotel-run kids’ clubs, but keep your eye open for those with a First Choice Kids’ Club logo – at these we can guarantee top-notch care.

Our Most Savvy Visitors

For all the Family

Our tiny guests may be small, but they’re still VIP’s to us. In fact, little ones aged between zero and three have got a rattle-shaking box of delights to enjoy. We’re talking things like Twinklestars, our fun-packed crèche where there are never more than three kids to one of our Crèche Reps. Plus, there’s our awardwinning activity programmes like Swim-aSong pool sessions and Tatty Bumpkin – fun yoga for kids.

Teens know what they like to do and we’re happy to make it happen. It’s why we created Escape – the place for over 12’s. It’s free and absolutely chocka with things like archery, canoeing, fencing, cheerleading, movie and music making and DJ-ing. Then you’ve got high ropes courses, snorkelling and water walkers. And you can add pamper sessions and our great rookie lifeguard sessions to that list, too. Plus, it’s time to make Rock history – Guitar Hero is coming to Holiday Village on the Nintendo Wii.

We’ve given you no end of things to do on your own, but we know you’ll want to hook up as a family for most of your holiday. That’s why there’s just as much fun stuff for you to enjoy together. For starters, you’ve got action-packed family days like ‘Pirate Challenge’ and ‘Survivor’. Then there are splash parks full of pools, slides and fountains. And it doesn’t all stop come sundown. In the evenings, there’s the fantastic ‘i 5 Live’ entertainment to look forward to with i Move – dance, i’s Down – bingo, i Win – games and i Kandi – main shows. Plus, watch out for ‘Holiday Village’s Got Talent’ with stars from top reality TV shows like ‘X Factor’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and ‘I’m A Celebrity’ on the cards. You can also catch celebrity acts like Joe Pasquale, Same Difference and Lemar. For tour dates, check out ﬁrstchoice.co.uk/holidayvillages.

Our Liveliest Visitors We’ve given 3 to 11 year olds what we know they love – fun! There’s so much to do they’ll struggle to fit it all in. We’ve got our Littlestars club for three to fives, Superstars club for six to eights and Megastars club for nine to elevens. All the clubs are free, open seven days a week and stacked with fun things to do. Plus DreamWorks is coming to our clubs. There’ll be some seriously cool action based on DreamWorks’ latest movies and some of the film ‘stars’ will pop in for a visit. But that’s not all. We’ve also got things like treasure hunts and circus workshops. Then there are Wet, Wild and Wacky sessions in the pool, live shows, football, stage and swim academies and that’s just for starters.

Our Grown-up Visitors You didn’t think we’d leave the adults out of the fun, did you? Holiday Village is about the whole family and we really pull out all the stops to make sure there’s plenty for everyone. You can join in with loads of the fun outdoor activities like raft building and the high ropes courses. But you’ve also got spa sessions, à la carte dining, bars, discos, quizzes and cabarets. And if you fancy a grown-ups night out, we can take care of the kids for you. We run Kids’ Club sessions from 9pm to 11pm on selected evenings.

Holiday Villages

Our Littlest Visitors

For Eating and Drinking We’ve designed our Holiday Villages so you’ve got everything you need on hand. And when it comes to meal times you’re never going to be short of something tasty. We’ve got buffets, themed menus, kids’ treats and every village has at least two à la carte restaurants. Plus there are loads of watering holes – including beach, swim-up, poolside and sports bars.

Village Life Near and Far As well as close-to-home villages in the Med, you can also escape to further away spots like exotic North Africa.

When you stay at one of our Splash hotels you’ll get unlimited access to the wettest, wildest and coolest waterparks. Oh yeah – that’s deﬁnitely splashtastic.

Splash

Unlike other holiday companies, we don’t just look at photos of a waterpark and give it a mark out of 10. We’re all for doing it properly. So I went to try out all the slides and chutes ﬁrst hand. What I’ve come up with is a brilliant selection of hotels with unlimited access to fantastic waterparks. And don’t be fooled, we’re not talking about any old hotel with a few lame slides – we only deal in really top-notch splashfests.

A Splashing good time...

We’re so dedicated to bringing you the best, that we’ve got our very own ‘Cool Pool Tester’. Tommy Lynch. He’s been whizzing down waterslides, splashing around pools and giving them a score out of ten - all so we can rate each waterpark on our Splash-O-Meter. They’re a great guide to picking the perfect splash-tastic getaway for your family.

Limber on up. Try and psyche out your opponents. And get on your marks. Yep, the race is well-andtruly on. It’s about getting from top to bottom as quickly as you can, and with the gradients on some of these bad boys, it shouldn’t take long.

Fancy the sea without the sand? Well in that case, as decent wave pool’s just the ticket. It’s a great way to splash around, less sand in your toes and seaweed wrapped round your feet. And if you jet off to our Aqualand Village in Corfu, you’ll get to enjoy the third biggest wave pool in the world.

Get ready for the show stealers. Feature slides are the waterpark’s big gun, the attraction to really shout about. They include rides like Sidewinders, Bowls, Boomerangos and Masterblasters. The latter actually shoots the rider up hill, while the Bowls are like some sort of supersized basin that’ll spin you round before you plummet down the plughole in the middle!

Tommy Says... For a lowdown on the awesome range of slides and chutes in every Splash waterpark, just check out the slides’ key on each hotel page..

Multi-Lane Slides Some twist, some corkscrew, and some simply shoot straight down. One thing’s for sure, by the time you’re ﬁnished, your knuckles will be a ghostly shade of pale. And yeah, you’ll be able to see where you’re going. But that’s not going to slow you down.

Is there anything more fun than shooting down a good waterslide? Well, how does doing it while hanging on to a rubber inﬂatable sound? Trust me, it’s a hoot. There’s no trick to it either, you’ve just got to hold on really tight and let your rubber ring do all the work. Some of them even let you tear down in pairs. And that’s twice the fun.

Lazy River

Body Slides

If you’re in the mood for something a bit more sedate, grab yourself an inﬂatable ring and hop onto the Lazy River. The biggest waterparks in the Splash range tend to include them, and they simply take you on a gentle ride around the grounds of the park. They’re not fast and there are no sudden drops, so just kick back and relax.

Feature Slides They might look tiny to us, but for tots and toddlers these are the Real McCoy. A lot of them are based around some sort of playground - a good old-fashioned pirate ship is quite common. Cue lots of kid-friendly slides and loads of sprays. Plus they’ll get to muck around on plenty of other mini-slides, usually dotted around their own pool.

Speed Slides

Tube Slides

Kids Slides

I think there’s a speed demon in all of us. After all, everyone loves a bit of a rush. So if you’re a bit of a go-fast freak, you’re going to love the speed slides. They’re ultra quick, they’re furious and they’ll ﬁre you spinning down to the ground at near breakneck speeds. Plus you’re in the dark! Not for the feint hearted I can assure you.

Wave Pool

Splash

…All of our Splash hotels include unlimited waterpark access

Surf Simulator Surf’s up! Surf simulators are not only great fun – they’re also a great introduction to one of the coolest sports on Earth. And it really doesn’t matter how good you are either – from beginners to pros, everyone will have a blast.

Experience Premier Escape the everyday in style at one of our hand-picked four and ﬁve star properties. Whether it’s for family time, romance or just a break, Premier’s got the perfect getaway.

Premier

Pestana Casino Park Hotel, Madeira

Premier With our Premier hotels, it’s all about top-to-toe luxury. We’re talking great locations, ﬁrst-class service and stylish bedrooms. And that goes for the little extras, too. From early check in to priority transfers, we know how to make your holiday run smoothly. Cast your eyes over these plus points… We know every kilo counts, so you can check in 20kg of luggage and carry 7kg on the plane with you*. Privilege lounge at H10 Andalucia Plaza

Premier Families

Priority transfers are sometimes available when you land. So, in other words, you’ll go from planeside to poolside much faster. Day-before check-in means you can jump the luggage queues. It’s free at Gatwick and Manchester and you can just turn up. At Birmingham, there’s a small charge and you’ll need to book it.

If you’re thinking of whisking the kids away in the summer, we’ve got loads of hotels that offer the best of both worlds for families, too. Grown ups still get chic settings and ﬁne dining, while little ones can enjoy roomy pools, hotel-run kids’ clubs and most complexes have a kids’ menu that’ll keep fussy eaters as happy as Larry. We’ve thought about the practical bits as well, so families can borrow things like high-chairs and bottle-warmers at their hotel. Look for our Premier Families hotels in the brochure. * ﬂying with Thomson Airways

Egypt - Mediterranean Coast Resort Guide

Egypt - Mediterranean Coast On Egypt’s north coast, between Sollum and Rosetta, you’ll find 500km of dazzling Mediterranean seaboard. In recent years, holidaymakers and a few travellers have begun to discover the untouched beaches where turquoise waters go hand-in-hand with almost deserted, pristine shores. But for a change of tempo, you’ve also got places like Alexandria, it’s rich in history and must-sees. Marsa Matruh

Mediterranean Sea Alexandria Suez Canal The Pyramids

Jordan Petra

Cairo Taba Aqaba

Sinai Monastery of St Catherine

Sharm el-Sheikh Ras Mohammed Nati El Gouna

Egypt

Hurghada Valley of the Kings

Marsa Matruh Soft ivory sands and aquamarine seas are what Marsa Matruh is all about. And, thanks to the gentle Med breeze, it doesn’t get too hot here - even in the middle of summer. This spot, whose name means ‘sheltered harbour’, is the place for sun-soaked fun with a laid-back vibe. So, pack the Factor 50 and get ready for sunbeds and splash action along the beaches, and sights like Almaza Bay’s shimmering waters.

EXPLORE YOUR DESTINATION History El Alamein - just hear the name and you think of tanks lumbering across desert sands. It was here that one of the most important battles of World War II took place. Under General Montgomery’s command, the Allied Forces defeated Rommel’s Nazi Africa Corps. If you want a glimpse into this period of history, head to Marsa Matruh’s Rommel Museum. It’s set in the cave that used to be Rommel’s headquarters, and contains the German commander’s compass, overcoat and maps.

Training tour guides in Egypt When you book a holiday with us we’ll ask you to make a small donation to the World Care Fund. With you contributions, we’re training snorkelling guides in environmental issues and helping to develop an official training. The project’s creating jobs for local people, protecting the marine environment and improving the quality of snorkelling in the area.

Red Sea Coast Resort Guide

Red Sea Coast Blessed with sun-kissed beaches, sensational dive sites and an intoxicating history, this part of the world is simply unforgettable. While the ancient world mixes effortlessly with the new, the Red Sea’s most popular resorts promise relaxation, activity and discovery.

Mediterranean Sea Alexandria Suez Canal The Pyramids

Jordan Petra

Cairo Taba Aqaba

Sinai Monastery of St Catherine

Sharm el-Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh All golden beaches and aquamarine waters, Sharm El Sheikh is a top sun-soaked spot on the Red Sea Riviera. From Naqb Bay’s flat sands to Sharks Bay’s cosy coves, there are tons of places to pull up a lounger or go wild on watersports. And with some of the world’s best dive sites just a boat ride away, both beginners and experts can dip deep into the Riviera’s underworld. Plus, come nightfall, Na’ama Bay is a real hotspot. We’re talking glitzy casinos, funky bars and cushionfilled coffee houses decked out with shisha pipes. Hurghada When it comes to letting your hair down, you can enjoy one of Egypt’s hottest nightspots and a taste of ‘home’ at Hurghada’s Ministry of Sound. The beach resort has come a long way from its early days as a popular dive spot among die-hard seasalt lovers. These days there are flashy nightclubs, cruisey restaurants like the Hard Rock Café and chill-out shisha cafés. And, if all this is too much, you can just soak up the atmosphere of your hotel’s lounge area.

Marsa Alam Marsa Alam’s another one of those places that’s all about taking it easy. The clear waters of its coastline are just right for exploring the colourful coral reefs and tropical fish, while on dry land you’re unlikely to crave anything more than simply flopping down on the powdery sands. That said, if you’re feeling adventurous why not try a jeep safari?

Taba Taba’s a beach resort, plain and simple, with swanky hotels stretching for miles along the golden sands. On a good day, you’ll even get views across to Israel, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, so keep the camera at the ready - particularly in the evenings. And because the beach forms the hub of everyday life, it almost goes without saying you’ve got loads of watersports to have a go at including snorkelling and diving which are especially good in this neck of the woods. EXPLORE YOUR DESTINATION Here’s a little taste of what’s on offer: for more excursion ideas, speak to your Rep. Snorkelling Take a relaxing boat trip to the Garden Reef and famous Ras Mohamed National Park, where you’ll uncover an incredible underwater world, surrounded by over 1,000 species of colourful fish. Cairo Spend 1 or 2 days exploring the spectacular city of Cairo. You’ll get to see the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, along with the fascinating Egyptian Museum, home to more than 120,000 relics and antiquities. Bedouin Experience An amazing opportunity to visit the desert, with the chance to ride a camel to a Bedouin camp, you’ll experience an evening of great hospitality, including a candlelit dinner beneath the stars.

Tropicana Sea Beach Splash Resort

✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔

How do you go about improving on a hotel that’s already got huge bedrooms with air-con and satellite TVs? How do you get better than being seconds from the beach? Answer - you build a waterpark next door and then give guests unlimited access to it. It’s exactly what they’ve done at the Tropicana Sea Beach, where you’ll now find all sorts of slides and chutes that rack up full marks on our Splash-O-Meter. In terms of white knuckles, get ready for speed and bowl slides, a twister, black hole and the fearsome Sting Ray. And on a calmer note, you’re looking at a family slide, wave pool and lazy river, as well as an area just for kids.

Mind you, grown-ups aren’t an afterthought. The daytime and evening entertainment is comprehensive, and, of course, there’s always the super-sized pool complex with its bar and the beach beyond. Speaking of the beach, the sands are just seconds away, so it’s easy to laze some more or try out some watersports.

SSSSS

This grand, whitewashed number has got some serious style. For one thing, it’s grabbed a prime spot on the seafront, so great views are guaranteed. What’s more, it’s just as good-looking inside. Think marble floors, soft lighting and sleek wooden fixtures. This place is pretty spacious, too, so you’ll find loads of funky facilities dotted across its palm-clad grounds. Expect three restaurants, three bars and three pools, to name just a few. And as for the location, the buzzing hub of Naama Bay is just close by.
