Maria Popp

With a degree in cultural education and a focus on museum education, she worked as a freelancer at various museums, spent time in neighbouring France and worked in the areas of exhibition organisation and realisation, press relations, cultural mediation and as an assistant manager in the solar industry before joining Arabia Felix.

Maria Popp - who has had an affinity for Oman since leaving school - 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 the years through research trips.

She heads the travel department at Arabia Felix and is in charge of the Arabic language courses. It is a personal concern of hers 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 exceeds expectations as far as possible. Thanks to her long-standing contacts 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 added value is created locally and in cultural exchange on an equal footing, and that ecological and social aspects are taken into account.

She is involved in the cultural projects of Arabia Felix in an advisory and supportive capacity. She lives in Munich with her husband and three children.
