Maria Popp

> Karin Nowack   > Georg Popp

The qualified cultural educator worked as a freelancer at various museums, spent time in neighbouring France and then worked in the fields of exhibition organisation, realisation, press relations, cultural mediation and as a management assistant in the solar industry before joining Arabia Felix.

Already an Arabia enthusiast since leaving school, she shares Georg Popp's passion for the Sultanate of Oman and its exemplary state development. She has in-depth knowledge of Oman, which she has acquired over 25 years of research trips.

At Arabia Felix, she heads the travel department and is in charge of the Arabic courses.

It is her personal concern to realise the travel wishes of the customers individually and to convey the natural and cultural beauties of Oman in such a way that the trip meets the expectations as much as possible. Thanks to her many years of contact with people in Oman - and by no means only from the travel industry - new ideas for tours and programmes emerge, which she in turn incorporates into the travel offers. It is a personal concern of hers that local appreciation and cultural exchange take place at eye level, and that ecological and social aspects are taken into account.

She conceived and organised international cultural projects and exhibitions with various institutions in Oman as part of the business activities of Arabia Felix, including in cooperation with the UN in Vienna and UNESCO in Paris, works as a city guide for Stattreisen and is herself active as an artist.

She is married and has three grown-up children.
