Oman is known for its culture, abundant nature and rich history. Delegates will have the opportunity to explore this fascinating country both before, during and after Congress.

This is a land of unlimited discovery; a place of natural beauty, thriving wildlife and Omani hospitality, with five UNESCO World Heritage List sites. Whether visitors are looking for a relaxing getaway or an extreme adventure, Oman has it all.  

Delegates and their families can take a tour of the souq, find traditional treasures, hike through awe-inspiring wadis, cycle across mountains, explore ancient forts, dive into a vibrant underwater world, take a dhow cruise through Kasab, unwind at a luxury resort or just take in the scenery. 

Travelling to Oman

There are currently no warnings against traveling to Oman, but we are continuously monitoring the situation in the Middle East and resulting travel advice from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in consideration of the safety of everyone attending the event.
