Martin Randall Travel Offers a Unique Tour to Oman

Remarkable and Varied Landscape, Hill Forts, Traditional Souqs

 And Archaeology Makes Oman a Trip of A Lifetime 

UK based, Martin Randall Travel (MRT) is happy to offer guests the opportunity to travel to the little known Arabian country of Oman from November 16-28, 2008. The tour will operate with between 8-18 participants. The country provides a diverse range of extraordinary natural beauty: deserts, mountains, fjords, wadis, and beaches. Unlike some of the neighboring Gulf states, Oman is not over-developed and, with relatively few visitors a year, tour participants can experience the famed kindness and friendliness of the Omanis.

“The most wonderful place I have ever been to” was the verdict of our most widely travelled staff member and the Oman itinerary includes the highlights of this beguiling country: from the inland forts of Nizwa and Jabrin to the little-visited archaeological sites of Al-Balid and Khor Rowri, from spectacular mountain scenery in the Jebel Akhdar to the remoteness of the Wahiba Sands, from the bustling capital Muscat to the spectacular fjords of the Musandam Peninsula and the contrasting landscapes of the southern region of Dhofar. Additional highlights of the 14-Day tour include: the opportunity to camp overnight in the Wahiba Sands and observe birdlife from a traditional dhow and shop in suqs suffused with the scent of frankincense. More active participants can swim in luxuriant wadi water pools or ride a camel.

This tour package includes: roundtrip air travel (economy class) on scheduled British Airways (outbound) and Emirates flights (inbound) from London, UK , internal air travel on Oman Air, travel by private air-conditioned coach or 4-wheel-drive vehicles, stays in 4 and 5-star hotels, 1 night camping, all breakfasts, eleven lunches (some picnics) and thirteen dinners with wine, water and coffee,  all admission charges to museums, sites, all gratuities for waiters, guides, drivers, all state and airport taxes, the cost of the group visas and the services of the lecturer and local guide.
