What to do With Little Ones in Oman – A Fun Filled Omani Holiday for the Family

Thanks to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles now every child knows what a turtle looks like - at least they have a twisted impression! To set things straight show your little ones what a real turtle looks like by taking them to the Ras AI Hadd Turtle Reserve. A place which preserves turtles in a natural setting, you can witness these majestic green creatures as they make their trip to the Ras-al-Jinz fishing village every year in order to lay their eggs. Since most of the turtles at the reserve are endangered species, you get to educate your kids on the importance of conserving these beautiful creatures and how they can contribute in their own little ways to do so. Best time to go turtle watching in Oman is in between July and October for turtles are most active during these months of the year. Other places where one can spot turtles are in the shores of Dhofar, the Dimaniyat Island and the Masirah Island. To learn everything about the lifestyle of a turtle make sure you visit this attraction with an expert ranger.

Children love boat rides and in Oman you get to add a little flavour to typical boat rides by experiencing your journey in a traditional Dhow. If you are holidaying with older children, they definitely can do with a little bit of Omani history along the way. Your destination with the famous Dhow of Oman is to the beautiful Musandam Peninsula which offers an array of treats that every member of the family is bound to fall in love with. Along the way treat yourself to the performances of happy dolphins which undoubtedly the children will have a ball of a time watching. If you want a better dose of dolphins you could always indulge in a proper dolphin cruise where at times you can even see thousands of dolphins swimming past you. Once you get to the Musandam Island, indulge in the best of the Nomadic lifestyle by sleeping under the stars at night, snorkelling by day and visiting the traditional fisherman's villages nearby.

Oman is in the Middle East and the temperature issues here are nothing new. What better way to beat the heat than to delve into a Wadi full of water. As for water parks there are 2 popular names in the city Wadi Arbayeen and Wadi Shab; both of which are equally fun to delve in. You could scramble up on boulders, swim through caves and seek out secret waterfalls – it feels like reliving a child's dream here. Thrill seekers better check out the unique Bimmah sinkhole which many say feels like falling off the moon. For more natural water based fun, the beaches of Oman are something that the whole family would love. You could opt for a beach resort in Salalah and have the waters at your footstep. You can even consider staying at options such as Al Baleed Resort Salalah by Anantara offering unique 4x4 excursions to popular public beaches in the area.
