Our Story

    Before 2005

    In those days, tourism in Oman and the service sector in general were still very young.

    In 2005

    After almost 20 years in the hotel industry, Amur Hardan decided to change his perspective and founded Elite Travel & Tourism, making his passion his profession. He has never looked back. Amur was the first National entering into the travel trade, which was monopolized by expatriates back then.

    Today

    Elite has changed the tourism landscape in Oman significantly, thanks to Amur's bold move more than ten years ago. Today, Elite employs the biggest European sales & reservation team in Oman. With a large fleet of cars and a strong squad of foreign language guides, we pride ourselves to be one of the top 5 DMCs in the Sultanate.

     

     

Why Elite?



  • Philosophy

    Our aim is to create travel with a meaning while respecting the local culture and customs. We are helpful, fair, open for new ventures and aware of changes, which we educate our partners about.



  • Uniqueness

    We are the only German-Omani owner-managed incoming agency in the Sultanate. Unparalleled philosophy and competence define us. We provide niche products that we believe in. Our portfolio services class not mass. Excellent connections make extraordinary moments possible.



  • Dedication

    We turned our passion into our profession and do everything wholeheartedly. Leading by example and having the courage to explore new ways are our strength. The sky's the limit, no step is too far to satisfy our valued customers.



  • Commitment

    One for all and all for one: employees, suppliers and clients are our long-term partners. Through transparent and honest communication we create a tolerant, loyal and fair environment. Team spirit is a key factor for success. Without our varied and valued partners we would not be where we are today.



  • Responsibility

    We take the role as ambassadors of our beautiful country serious. Sustainability through protection of nature and culture, respecting local customs as well as providing employment to local people is our duty.



  • Quality

    All offers are tailor-made to the demand of our bespoke clientele. We train our employees continuously to ensure top quality during the reservation process and while in Oman. Staying in close contact with guests during their stay is our credo. Our services are sourced internally with own employees, cars and facilities.



  • Industry Relations

    With the combined experience of 120 years in tourism, the Elite management met all movers and shakers in the industry. We maintain excellent relations with hotels, suppliers and government. This results in preferred commercial agreements, priority access to inventory and fast solutions to challenges.



  • Financial Background

    Established for more than 10 years, we have a proven sound financial track record. Our sizeable liability insurance policy covers every eventuality.



  • Technology

    Our reservations system with integrated accounting and operations modules enables us to act and react fast and without fail. We have the latest technology including XML integration to serve any requirement.
