Question Do you still do tours? You stated you did in your books, and I have read other references stating you do. However, the listed e-mail addresses won't accept mail.
Thanks!
Answer Yes, I do still do tours. But I am not affiliated with any compny in Oman at present. I used to live and work in Oman but after 9/11 I had to come home. I moved to the DC area and I still conduct tours on a limited basis: to school groups and cultural societies. I cannot muster much more than one or two tours a year as the business is not strong enough to support more. As tourism to the Midlle East is getting stronger, I might find things getting better, but it is still a wait and see proposition and I won't be going back to live in Oman until a substantial offer comes along.
If you are over here in the USA and would like some tour arranged, I can work something out for you. If it is a small party, I will put you intouch with my ground contacts in Oman.
