Arriving into a cool and sometimes blustery Oman Dr Erica Hunter of Cambridge and SOAS London Universities and a study group from ACE Study Tours made a welcome return to Oman. The group traveled in both northern Oman and southern Oman and saw several UNESCO World Heritage sites (Bahla, Bat, Ras Al Jinz, Sumharam and Al Balid) amongst many other places within Oman.

Earlier I was delighted to meet with a group of Taiwanese Travel Agents during their visit into Oman. The final evening of their time in Oman was a dinner hosted by the Taiwanese representative in Oman which was also attended by several officials of the Oman Ministry of Tourism.
