The Oman Mega Famil is in full swing today with 34 travel agents arriving in Oman.

Greeted by the welcoming staff of Sifawy Boutique Hotel, Muscat, the agents will meet on the beach for a barbeque lunch – embracing Omani hospitality and heavenly views.

Throughout the mega famil agents will experience many ‘firsts’ including an interactive component to the trip. Agents are invited to use social media to share their journey.

At the end of the famil a busy blogger will be awarded title of ‘Social Media Megastar.’
