Destinations at last year's event

Muscat

Just an hour's flight from Dubai, Muscat offers a change of pace - think gorgeous beaches, beautiful architecture, and Arab hospitality. In 2016 the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre opened, giving Muscat numerous theatres, conference rooms and four hotels with almost 1,000 rooms. The downtown business district is close to historical landmarks and ancient souks, and home to some grand MICE hotels, including Intercontinental and Grand Hyatt. This is your chance to experience the early days of a soon-to-be superstar of the MICE world.
