“Last autumn a group of six of us were looking for January sunshine. After several attempts we came across Shaw Travel and e-mailed asking for help. We wanted sunshine, interest, beauty, a great hotel, not too much air travel time, the less time change the better and a comfortable, reasonable club class flight. By mid-day the following day Sonia Shaw sent us a proposal which barely changed and as a result we had one of the best holidays ever. Oman we loved, the climate we loved, the Chedi turned out to be a sensationally good hotel and the travel arrangements impeccable. We agreed on leaving that we would be back next January and we will."
