At Tricorn Travels, our name isn’t random — and neither is our logo.
The tricorn hat is one of the most recognizable symbols of the great age of exploration. With its distinctive three-cornered shape, the tricorn became popular in the 17th and 18th centuries across Europe and the Americas. Sailors, merchants, officers, and explorers wore it while navigating the world’s oceans during a time when maps were still being drawn and distant lands were waiting to be discovered.
The design itself was practical. The brim of the hat was folded into three points to help shed rain and allow sailors to keep clear peripheral vision while working on ships. But over time, the tricorn became more than just practical clothing — it became a symbol of adventure, curiosity, and discovery.
During this period, the world was opening up. Trade routes expanded, cultures met, and travellers set out on journeys that reshaped how people understood the globe. The tricorn hat quietly became associated with that spirit: bold explorers setting sail toward the unknown.
That spirit is exactly what inspired our name.
At Tricorn Travels, we believe travel should feel like an exploration — not just a checklist of tourist attractions. Our mission is to redefine travel for the Arabian Gulf market by creating innovative, themed, and immersive journeys to distinctive destinations around the world.
Founded in Muscat, Oman by two tourism experts from Europe and Arabia, our company blends international perspective with deep regional insight. With more than a decade of experience across four continents, we aim to bridge a long-standing gap in the region’s tourism offering.
Too often, travel in the region relies on generic, outdated itineraries. We believe travellers deserve something richer — journeys that tell stories, spark curiosity, and bring people closer to the cultures and landscapes they explore. That means discovering not only the world’s iconic destinations, but also emerging and overlooked places often ignored by traditional agencies.
In many ways, the tricorn represents exactly that mindset. It reminds us of a time when travellers set out with curiosity, courage, and a sense of wonder about the world beyond the horizon.
Our vision is to become the leading boutique travel agency in the GCC, inspiring travellers through creative and immersive experiences across both renowned and undiscovered destinations.
So when you see the tricorn on our logo, think of it as a symbol of exploration.
A small hat with a very big story — and the perfect companion for the journeys ahead.
