Getting familiar with Oman


FAMILIARISATION trips can be such hard work can’t they – all those early starts, hotel visits and energy-sapping all-day excursions.



It’s not surprising that Backchat managed to catch these tired old things snatching a few winks on a recent visit to Muscat in Oman.



Lesley Ingram, account manager at Kuoni, top left, and Andy Orrah, managing director of Conference and Motivation Management, top right, just couldn’t keep their eyes open.



Even their host – Gulf Air’s specialist sales executive Mitchell Hawes, right – couldn’t take the pace.



However, like a true professional, Travel Weekly’s deputy news editor Beverley Fearis, also right, managed to stay alert throughout the whole trip.
