Kingdom of Oman This presentation is from my trip to Oman in 2006. I was assisting Sandra Moren, a spa consultant and also an author for Milady Publishing, on a spa consulting project. Sandra was invited to Oman by a Oman businessman to explore the creation of a spa & wellness center with a hydrotherapy theme. Oman is beautiful country with a desert environment and a special ancient Arabic culture. The people of Oman are very friendly and make you feel as if you are a very special guest in their country. |
