OUR Destination
OMAN
Oman has allured travellers for over 4,000 years and today it offers a fantastic location for the MICE market. The country is nestled within the East Arabian Peninsula with the majestic Al-Hajar mountain range forming a breath-taking backdrop for many of the country’s timeless villages, where the kindest people welcome you with abundant Arabian tradition and hospitality. Almost 2,000 miles of coast adorns Oman, providing visitors with a host of water sport activities, as well as dolphin watching. The Khareef, an annual monsoon, transforms the desert terrain into a lush, green landscape and creates seasonal waterfalls. In the north you find the ancient city of Nizwa. Build on a plain characterized by seasonal rivers and palm plantations. It’s known for Nizwa Fort, a castle with a huge cylindrical tower built in the 17th century to defend the city’s position on a major trade route. The adjoining marketplace, Nizwa Souk, is lined with fascinating handicrafts stalls and silversmiths working in quaint shops. In all Oman offers an unforgettable destination and one Mundus is excited to showcase.
