According to Gulf Air Holidays Manager, Jon Barnett the move follows the rapid growth in Gulf Air's holiday business.
"Everyone is very excited at this prospect of the first-ever Holiday Shop in the Gulf Air network," he said.
"A rapidly increasing number of people in the Kingdom and the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia are booking Gulf Air Holidays or requesting assistance form Gulf Air in their vacation arrangements.
"As we are committed to providing the highest levels of customer service in everything we do, the decision was made to open a dedicated holiday shop, which provides expert advice and guidance for the full range of Gulf Air Holiday Experiences, including Arabian Experience, Europe Experience and Asia Pacific Experience."
A special promotion will be run in the first two weeks following the opening, whereby anyone booking a Gulf Air holiday will go into a free draw for a valuable prize, the details of which will be announced on opening day.

About Gulf AirGulf Air was founded in 1950. Today, it is owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain, Oman and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and is the only truly pan Gulf carrier in the region. The airline's network stretches from Europe to Asia and covers 44 cities in 30 countries. The fleet is one of the most modern in the Middle East and comprises 34 aircraft.
The airline is in the last year of a three-year strategic recovery programme, headed by President and Chief Executive, James Hogan. The airline, which is making rapid strides towards regaining profitability in 2005, aims to further evolve by taking its renowned cultural strengths, which have been gained over more than half a century, into a global environment.
The dramatic turnaround in Gulf Air's fortunes has won international recognition. In January 2004, The Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) presented the airline with the prestigious Airline Turnaround of the Year Award for 2003. Gulf Air was also the recipient of the 2003 Platinum Award for the Best Airline in the Middle East and North Africa, recognising the airline's commitment to service excellence.
