Oman

Bring the tales of Arabian Nights to life on a family holiday in Oman, with its sandcastle-shaped forts, craggy mountains, arid deserts and turquoise waters. Younger children can enjoy turtle-watching in Ras Al Jinz and exploring fort ruins, while older children can relish hiking Jebel Shams and quad biking down sand dunes. Let our Lightfoot Travel experts put together a customisable luxury itinerary for you and your family.

Soak up the Arabian market atmosphere in old Muscat, then head to the coast to catch sight of whales and dolphins. Start your Arabian desert adventure in Wahiba Sands with a sunset camel safari, feast on traditional Omani fare in the glow of a campfire, then retreat to a luxury Bedouin-style tent.

Cap your trip with a stay at the resplendent Six Senses Zighy Bay. Here, a sandy beach provides the backdrop for activities like paragliding, diving, snorkelling, hiking, canyoning, water skiing and organic garden excursions.
