# Muscat Two-Nighter

> Three days, two nights, one flight each way. The smallest real incentive trip in the catalog — and the one a mid-size company can actually sign off.

Package L-02 from Offsyte, corporate recreation in the UAE · [Regional & International](https://offsyte.ae/catalog/international-incentive-trips/) · Web page: https://offsyte.ae/packages/muscat-two-nighter/

- **Ideal start time:** Thursday morning departure — two nights, one working day lost
- **Departure window:** Thursday or Friday morning

## Price per person, excluding 5% VAT

| Group size | Per person |

## Why this is not the retail version

A holiday-package equivalent to Muscat retails at **AED 1,750–2,200 a person** and it is a genuine price for a genuine product — flights, a hotel, an airport transfer and a half-day city tour on a shared basis. It is also entirely unsuitable for a company of twenty-five.

The difference is that a corporate group is **not a set of individual travellers who happen to share a plane.** Every meal here is together, every transfer is a private coach and not a shared shuttle, the excursion day is the group's own, and there is a named person from us on the aircraft, at the hotel desk, and in the room when something goes wrong at 23:00.

**What the client is really buying is that nobody in their HR team spends the trip working.** On a self-assembled version, somebody counts people at the gate, chases a missing room, finds the vegetarian meal and handles the person who left a passport in the seat pocket. That person is us.

**This is the entry rung of international.** It is the cheapest way to take a team out of the country overnight, and it is the package that makes L-03 sellable next year.
