Hello everyone! <\/p>\n\n

They are Federica, product manager at TWE<\/em><\/strong>, and I recently returned from a spectacular trip to Oman.\nIn fact, I want to tell you all about what I experienced before I leave for my next adventure! <\/p>\n\n

I was invited by the Ministry of Tourism of the Sultanate of Oman<\/strong> to explore the country and participate in an exclusive event: the Marhaba Europe 2024<\/strong>.\nThis event, whose name literally means “welcome to Europe,” brought together selected tour operators from Italy and across Europe, offering a unique immersion in the culture and beauty of Oman. <\/p>\n\n

My itinerary touched on the country’s main attractions-Muscat, Nizwa and the spectacular mountains of Jabal Akhdar.\nThese places represent must-see stops<\/strong> for those approaching Oman for the first time.\nIn Muscat<\/strong>, I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Opera House, an architectural gem that symbolizes the country’s love of music and the arts.\nStrolling through the bustling Mutrah<\/strong> souk, I was captivated by the scents and colors of the traditional markets. <\/p>\n\n

The next stop was Nizwa<\/strong>, the cultural and traditional heart of Oman.\nHere I took part in an interesting agricultural tour of a date plantation<\/strong>, where I witnessed farmers skillfully harvesting the fruit by climbing palm trees and carefully pruning them.\nIt was amazing to see how these ancient techniques are passed down from generation to generation. <\/p>\n\n

From the plains of Nizwa, I moved to the majestic mountains of Jabal Akhdar<\/strong>, where the Ministry of Tourism is developing projects to promote sustainable tourism.\nHere, nature mixes with culture, and I discovered the beauty of the terraced cultivations of the damask rose<\/strong> and pomegranate<\/strong>, both of which are the protagonists during the flowering season of numerous festivals. <\/p>\n\n

The trip continued with a visit to the “Oman Across Ages”<\/strong> museum ,<\/strong> a modern facility opened in 2023, strongly desired by the extraordinary Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, known as the “enlightened sultan<\/strong>, “<\/strong> to provide a space for Omani people to tell them about the country’s history, traditions, and great cultural heritage.\nAll along, the Sultan’s vision has transformed Oman from a closed country to an open and future-oriented nation. <\/p>\n\n

Finally, we could not miss an excursion to the Daymaniyat Nature Reserve<\/strong>, where I was lucky enough to observe sea turtles<\/strong> laying their eggs in this pristine paradise.\nThe trip ended with a meeting with local suppliers, where we had the opportunity to introduce our company and discuss sustainability.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

Oman is an inherently sustainable<\/strong> country, rooted in its traditions but at the same time open to the future.\nBefore 1970, Oman was a closed world of fishermen and farmers, but with Sultan Qaboos’ rise to power, everything changed.\nThe sultan opened the country to the world, promoting education abroad<\/strong> and encouraging young people to bring knowledge and development back home. <\/p>\n\n

Here are some interesting facts about Oman that you may not have known <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
