MANAGEMENT
Mr.Bader Mohammed Al Azri
Welcome to Oman Visitors Portal website, the Travel & Tourism website in Oman. Thank you for your time spent on our site today. Tourism is one of the most powerful contributors to the Sultanate’s economy. It behoves us to thrash out plans and strategies to boost our touristic capacities.
Oman’s capital enchants visitors in a way that no other city in the Gulf can even begin to match. Maybe it’s because Muscat doesn’t have that slightly artificial feel which typifies so much of the rest of the region. Muscat, Mutrah and Ruwi are the capital’s core districts.
We believe that the information contained in this website supports the development of Oman Tourism Industry even more.
