For almost two decades, we have worked in the Oman tourism industry and have invested heavily in the best transportation, guiding systems, and outdoor, camping, and recovery equipment.

We believe that Oman’s tourism is about the guest experience. The Panorama Travel team travels throughout the country, renewing their direct knowledge of the country and its hotels.

“Dear Badar & Panorama Travel Team, What I can say? Usually on these study trips I am very excited to go home at the end – but here in Oman, I am very sorry to leave. This is a credit to your stewardship – you made this entire trip truly special. It is obvious that you are a skilled historian of Oman and you are a gifted ambassador. I am grateful for all you and your team have done to make this study visit so amazing. Hopefully you can visit us in Boston, I’ll return the favor. All the Best. Kristina “
