Flights
To provide you with maximum flexibility and a professional travel service, I have teamed up with Abe Remmo of Travel Counsellors. Abe has been creating bespoke holidays since 2008, sending his guests across the globe and providing excellent customer care. He will be able to advise the best flights for you and take care of any pre or post tour requirements. Considering the havoc caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, Abe is well placed to look after your best interests, should any problems arise.
Abe is available to discuss the best flight options for you, guided by sensible flight times and value for money. The following routes (correct as of November 2020) provide some popular options on getting to Muscat.
