Holidays in Oman - Holidays to Remember

Fly over a thousand and one nights on overseas holidays in Oman. A trip to Oman is a trip you will never forget. Imagine crystal clear water, a shade of blue like you've never seen before. Imagine being pampered in a luxury hotel where all your desires function. Imagine a delicious dish, both main course, and dessert, as you've never tasted before.

Oman has been hosting people from all over the world for hundreds of years and Omanis know how to treat their visitors like sultans. Historically, Oman has been an important trading port on the famous Sunshine Route, where camels met fleets of caravan ships and where goods and culture were scattered throughout the civilized world.

Today you can take your loved ones for a luxury family vacation to Oman, where there is something for everyone. You can go shopping in a souk full of exotic and beautiful arts and crafts for which Omani artisans are famous. Or you can take a break in the Thousand Mountains with a desert dinner lit with candles and stars. There are day trips to the Wadi Shabs waterfalls and pools. Throughout the countryside, you will find castles and forts to explore. If you are active you can snorkel, kayak, windsurf or sail. Or you can lay back on a beautiful beach and watch the tides come in and out if you want to relax completely.

The music, food, and architecture will take you on a journey during your Oman vacation that will surpass the experience of any other holiday.

Things to do with children in Oman

Rent a car or 4x4 and discover Oman's natural wonders: mountains, scenic dunes and desert landscapes, wadis, waterfalls, and even lush orchards. You can explore miles of pristine coastline. Wadi bashing can be a difficult ride but it is a lot of fun; you can also sit on a sand dune and watch the sunset.

Get up early for the Friday goat market in Nizwa, when farmers and shepherds from surrounding mountain towns and villages bring goats, sheep, and cows to offer.

Snorkeling: The sparkling blue ocean is home to a wealth of exotic fish, dolphins, turtles, and some of the best coral formations in the world.

Take a dolphin-watching trip. It's best to get out early in the morning - seeing dolphins is almost certain and you might even get lucky and see several species of whales.

Visit Muscat, the shopping paradise with all its ancient souks (traditional Arab markets) and modern shopping malls offering everything from designer clothes to indigenous clothes, from perfumes to incense, and from watches to traditional jewelry. Muttrah is one of the oldest preserved souks in Oman. There are also many museums in and around Muscat that preserve Oman's rich heritage and folklore, while the Grand Mosque is a must-see.

Oman offers food for all tastes: international hotels, among them, offer meals of all kinds, which can simplify things with the most demanding palates. Chicken, fish, and mutton are used regularly in local dishes, along with spices and marinades. Be sure to sample some delicious Omani dates.
