Oman Family Holiday: Arabian Nights

9 Days / 8 Nights from £1575/ $2048 per person

Our Oman family holiday will take you to a warm and hospitable Sultanate of Oman, a magical bucket-list destination associated with the 1001 Arabian Nights, Sindbad the Sailor, and the exotic scent of frankincense. Easily reached on non-stop flights from both London and Manchester, this relaxed Oman Family holiday has been designed for families with children aged twelve and under and combines plenty of time to relax by the sea with a thrilling adventure into Oman’s stunning eastern Sharqiyah province. The holiday starts and concludes with time by the beach in Muscat where your base is The Al Waha Hotel within the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort. This child friendly haven has an array of amenities designed for younger guests and offers guaranteed interconnected rooms, a lazy river, playground, extensive lagoon-style pools, kids’ club, a wide choice of dining options and a beautiful sandy beach. In between lazy days on the Gulf of Oman, you’ll be taken on a three-day chauffeur driven adventure where experiences will include camping amongst the seemingly endless dunes of the Wahiba Sands, swimming in beautiful river-fed canyons, a dolphin watching cruise, and spotting turtles lay their eggs at Ras Al jinz (autumn & summer only). An Oman family holiday will appeal to both young and old and stay in the imagination for years to come!
