Towell Group’s Orbit Car Rental & Lease has announced its partnership with the groundbreaking Oman 3165 Expedition, a first-of-its-kind exploratory and awareness initiative that aims to highlight the importance of ocean conservation along the Sultanate’s coastline.
As part of this collaboration, Orbit Car Rental & Lease is providing a fully equipped OFF the Road-SUV for the expedition crew, covering all required maintenance expense throughout the expedition period. This contribution reinforces Orbit’s commitment to supporting projects that promote environmental sustainability and national pride.
“We are proud to partner with the Oman 3165 Expedition, a project that resonates deeply with our values of sustainability, innovation and community support,” said Mr. Riyadh Ali Sultan, General Manager, Towell Auto Group. “Through this initiative, we aim to contribute to a cause that highlights Oman’s natural heritage and inspires collective action for a better planet.”
The Oman 3165 Expedition embarks on an extraordinary 70-day journey from Musandam in the north to Dhalqut in the far south, tracing the full length of Oman’s stunning coastline. Led by renowned British explorer and MBE award recipient Mark Evans, the solo expedition will see him paddle approximately 30 kilometers per day in a 5-meter kayak inspired by traditional Inuit designs. Along the way, the expedition will transform into a floating laboratory, collecting environmental data and marine samples with underwater listening devices (hydrophones) and other scientific tools for analysis by marine experts.
Beyond scientific exploration, the initiative serves a broader purpose — to raise global awareness about the vital role of oceans and to inspire younger generations to become “planetary caretakers.” Through podcasts, social media, and satellite communications, the expedition will share real-time insights, fostering dialogue on sustainability and ocean preservation.
Orbit Car Rental & Lease, a leading vehicle leasing and rental provider in Oman, operates a diverse fleet of over 2,000 vehicles, catering to both individual and corporate clients. As part of the Towell Auto Group, Orbit is recognized for its customized, flexible, and reliable leasing solutions designed to meet the evolving mobility needs of customers across the Sultanate.
