Oman Air, Manchester Airport and the Oman Ministry of Tourism hosted seven agents on a four-night/five-day trip. The agents were winners of a training incentive held late last year. The trip allowed the agents to experience economy and business class on Oman Air as well as explore Muscat, Nizwa, Al Hajar Mountains and Ras Al Jins.

ALEX CONNOLLY TRAVEL COUNSELLORS (19 years in travel) “Having been to Muscat before, it was great to see how varied and diverse the landscape is, from majestic mountains to sandy deserts, stunning beaches to turtles reserves. Not to mention that genuine, friendly Omani welcome.”

PAUL DAYSON SPA TRAVEL (40 years in travel) “The highlight of the trip was to see turtles nesting and laying eggs. I feel privileged to have witnessed that. I also enjoyed the desert dune safari, which was an adrenaline-fuelled, fun experience.”

“My favourite thing about Oman was its history and culture. Also the beauty of the different areas between coastline, desert and mountains just blew me away.”
GORDON LAWRENCE GAZELLE TRAVEL (20 years in travel) “I enjoyed the hospitality and friendship of the Omanis. My highlight was the mosque – it was stunning – while another was the turtles. I learned that skyscrapers (apart from the Sheraton hotel) are not allowed. Also, that Oman is among the top-four safest countries in the world, despite perceptions some may have about the Middle East.”
