A new gem on Egypt’s Mediterranean Coast

The five-star Jaz Oriental Resort, opening 1st June 2009, is set to become one of the major attractions of Mersa Matruh, with its outstanding design, modern oriental interior and natural surroundings on the turquoise waters of the Southern Mediterranean.

With 212 spacious and well-appointed rooms, the new Jaz Oriental Resort enjoys its own secluded beach, a selection of indoor and outdoor restaurants, bars, swimming pools and evening entertainment.

For the active, Jaz Oriental offers a host of leisure and sports facilities including a gym and health club, tennis courts, beach volleyball, billiards and diving at Almaza Beach. There is also the chance to learn the skill of shooting with a bow and arrow at the archery club while the on-site Kids' Club provides a haven of fun and games. The resort’s own amphitheatre offers a variety of entertainment and there is plenty of shopping on site.

Jaz Oriental Resort, alongside the recently launched Jaz Crystal Resort and Almaza Bay's first hotel, Jaz Almaza Beach Resort, caters particularly to families and couples, but there are excellent facilities for business travellers looking to conduct meetings in an exotic location with catering and banqueting facilities on hand. Transfers to and from the airport are offered by the resort's shuttle bus service.

Renowned for its legendary silky sand beaches and translucent azure waters, guests of Jaz Oriental can also enjoy the nearby historic sites of Mersa Matruh particularly the Marine Ruins in El Alamain, with baths, tombs, temples, and nobles' houses, dating back to the Graeco-Roman period.
