History and culture suffuse Oman, but don't let that put you off this family destination. Visit glistening temples and glorious mosques that offer sanctuary from the blistering desert heat. Roam dimly lit souqs in Muscat, packed floor-to-ceiling with colourful traditional dress and ancient treasures, and treat your taste buds to tantalising new local cuisines. A fascinating glimpse of traditional Arabia is part of the deal during an Oman family holiday. And the best thing? The children won’t even realise how much they’re learning. A land of dramatic deserts filled with silky-sand-dunes, spectacular craggy mountains and palm-lined beaches,
this is a land that begs to be explored. Spend nights under the stars in desert camps, while away warm days in luxury resorts outside Muscat and go off-road on family-friendly road trips to the country’s colourful sub-tropical city, Salalah. There will be no cries of boredom here either. From camel trekking and dolphin spotting to mountain biking and wild camping, family holidays in Oman promise adventure for all ages. Haggle for a bargain in Muscat’s equally chaotic and charming Muttrah Souq, explore Nizwa’s historic fort and wake early to watch freshly hatched turtles scramble to the sea.

The holiday was perfect thank you. We fully relaxed in the Chedi then managed a good hike in the mountains. Just wish we could have stayed longer at the Alila!
