IN response to overwhelming customer feedback, national carrier Gulf Air announced it will start flying to two new popular vacation destinations for the summer season.
Flights to the Egyptian city of Alexandria will start on June 22 and flights to Salalah in Oman will commence on July 1. Both destinations will operate three times per week and will operate until mid September.
"Summer is always a peak travel period as many residents, including a large number of expatriates, look to spend quality vacation time in these popular destinations," says Gulf Air director of sales Kyle Haywood.
"For this summer season, we chose to introduce special flights to these two popular leisure and cultural spots in response to positive customer feedback."
"With the 'best fare guaranteed' and a wide range of hotels that can be booked instantly online, I am sure customers will take advantage of this great opportunity whilst seats remain available."
Alexandria, known as 'The Pearl of the Mediterranean' is regarded by many travellers as one of the most beautiful summer destinations in the region, offering the best of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culture.
Oman's Salalah, known as the perfume city of Arabia, has a number of pristine beaches along the shores of the Arabian Sea in a tropical setting. Salalah is also a popular expat regional escape location from the soaring Gulf summer temperatures.
