Dubai: Oman Air and Oman’s Ministry of Tourism have announced the launch of ‘Oman Short Breaks’, a joint project offering convenient and competitively-priced holiday packages for customers from the GCC region, especially those from the UAE.

The packages are available for travel during the forthcoming spring and summer seasons and include return flights with Oman Air together with accommodation in any of the many deluxe hotels in Muscat and Salalah.

‘Oman Short Breaks’ was launched at a grand event held recently at the Fairmont Hotel, Dubai, where Ghasi Humaid Al Hashmi, Deputy Director General of Tourism Promotion, Oman Ministry of Tourism, said: “The Oman Ministry of Tourism, in association with the several key players in the travel and tourism sector, is aggressively promoting the Sultanate as an attractive global tourist destination. Through our strategic partnership with Oman Air, we have been able to create tremendous awareness about tourism options in Oman, which has generated fruitful results. Continuing with our past success, we have once again collaborated with Oman Air to launch the ‘Oman Short Breaks’ campaign for the upcoming tourist season.”

The ‘Oman Short Breaks’ holiday package is designed for visitors from the GCC, and particularly from the UAE, who reside at flying distance of only two to three hours from Oman and are often on a look-out for short weekend packages to spend quality holidays with family and friends.
