Family Holidays to Oman
Golden sandy beaches, aquamarine waters and pleasant temperatures make Oman a great winter sun destination, particularly appealing to families thanks to the relatively short flight times.
The Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resorts - Al Waha , with its fab kid's club, aquatic playground and adventure zone, has been designed with families in mind and is our #1 recommendation for family holidays in Muscat.
If you can drag everyone away from the resort's facilities, one must-do is a desert safari: begin the day with a wadi-bashing drive, stopping for a dip in a picturesque desert oasis, before continuing into the desert for some proper dune-bashing (tearing around in a 4x4). You'll then visit a Bedouin-style camp, where the kids can dress up in Arabian costumes, get a henna tattoo, and try their hand at camel riding before feasting round a campfire.
Oman is one of the world's most important turtle nesting grounds, with five out of the seven species found here. The best time to visit to see turtles hatching and nesting is between September and November. October half term is a good time to go weather-wise - temperatures begin to wane as summer ends, with average highs in the late 20s and early 30s.
If you need to cool off, head to the Palm Mall Muscat, where there's a permanent (indoor) winter wonderland - packed with icy amusement rides, tobogganing and ice-skating - for a day of family fun in the snow. They'll also be a large aquarium within the complex, as well as what you'd expect to find in a mall: shops featuring well-known brands from all over the world.
