Corinthian Travel Luxury Holidays to Jordan And Syria - The Luxury Is In The Experience and Memories

Online, October 4, 2010 (Newswire.com) - In this ever faster paced world, travellers place more and more importance on their holidays and seek the ultimate experience that is laden with luxury.

However, luxury should not be quantified in purely materialistic terms but in the opulence of the experience itself. Luxury travel should be seen more from the memories, the sights, the taste, feel and sounds of a holiday - tangible and tactile aspects that are often overlooked.

Traditional luxury holidays rarely venture outside the confines of a hotel, beach or resort. Hugh Fraser of Corinthian Travel http://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk prides himself and his company in the ultimate travel experience he provides to Jordan, Syria, Egypt and Lebanon. His company offers not only luxury, in terms of the places they stay at and eat in, but also gives travellers the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the feel and culture of a country. Getting inside a country and its culture is his key goal, it is a luxury that not many have the privilege of experiencing.

Corinthian Travel http://www.corinthiantravel.co.uk gives the discerning traveller the opportunity to enjoy luxury holidays in Jordan and Syria. Some of the highly unique experiences the company currently offer include:-

• Petra by Candlelight - experience the majesty of Petra at a candlelit evening event when the site is opened up. Walk through the wonders of this site in small privately escorted groups.
• Jordanian cuisine - get off the tourist track and enjoy a home-cooked lunch in the village of Rassoun. Corinthian Travel's local guides will give you a unique insight into Jordanian culture.
