Spend a night under the stars in The Wahiba Sands
Perhaps suited to families with older children, Oman is an exciting country full of 4x4 adventures through the wadis, mountains and desert. It has a fantastic climate, although very hot in the summer, making it particularly suitable for half-term breaks or Christmas holidays.
The hotels on the coast near Muscat are superb and many have extensive facilities including swimming pools, arranged activities and kids clubs. Due to the hotels a holiday based in Muscat would be suitable for children of any age.
However, for a touring itinerary taking in some of the highlights of the country we think it is more suitable for older children.
