MUSCAT: Ever thought of watching the 2018 FIFA World Cup at the stadium after having breakfast with Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s an event many of us can only dream of.

The world’s biggest football tournament will begin in Russia, from June 2018 and will run until mid-July. It is sure to attract tourists from all over the world, including Oman.

Seven of the World Cup host cities—St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kazan, Ekaterinbu­rg, Kaliningra­d, Sochi, and Nizhny Novgorod—are among Russia’s top 10 tourist destinatio­ns.

“Russia’s landscape ranges from the Tundra and forests to sub-tropical beaches, where there is plenty to do and see,” according to Travel Point LLC, Oman’s largest Travel and Hospitalit­y Company, which has been appointed as the authorised sales sub-agent of Dadabhai Travel, the exclusive sales agent of match hospitalit­y for the sale of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ Official Hospitalit­y Programme.

Aziz Gilitwala, managing director at Dadabhai Travel, stated: “We are delighted to offer this opportunit­y to Omani nationals and expats for what is expected to be one of the most exciting sporting events in the world and one that is easily accessible and in close proximity to the GCC (Gulf Cooperatio­n Council).”

Exclusivel­y offered by Travel Point in Oman, the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ official hos- pitality packages have been designed to include a spectrum of privileges and is a perfect way to entertain corporate and private guests in 2018.
