Each of our family adventures has been designed to ensure that both parents and children get the most out of their holiday. Whether you are a regular KE client looking to share your pioneering spirit with the children, or you are dipping your toes in the waters of adventure travel for the first time, you should find your perfect holiday amongst our family adventures. Exotic cultures, breath-taking natural environments and amazing historical treasures have never been more accessible for the whole family to enjoy.

Dolphins and Deserts - Family Holiday in Oman

Miles of empty beaches, hidden wadi pools, nesting turtles, endless desert, dramatic mountain ranges and welcoming people are some of the highlights of this amazing family adventure holiday in Oman. From Muscat, the capital city and a trading port since the first century, we take a boat trip out to a secluded beach where we spend the morning kayaking and snorkelling and looking out for dolphins and whales - 22 species have been spotted along the Omani coastline. Heading south and after a night of wild beach camping, we will make the short walk to the idyllic swimming pools in beautiful Wadi Shab, before driving to the turtle reserve at Ras al Jinz. With luck we'll see the females digging holes and laying their eggs, or see the baby turtles breaking through the sand by the light of the moon. Then, travelling to a Bedouin encampment in the Wahiba Sands, we have time to learn a little about these desert-dwellers, their camels and other livestock. We'll also have the opportunity to sleep out under desert skies, looking out for shooting stars and roving satellites. After saying our goodbyes, we drive up into the Al Hajar Mountains for another wild camping experience at Oman's high point, followed by the fantastic ‘Balcony Walk' above Oman's Grand Canyon. A night and a morning at the secluded and very beautiful village of Misfah Al Abryeen, where we learn about the traditional irrigated agriculture of the Al Hajar, is a great way to conclude our time in Oman. Far from the glitz of Dubai, Oman is the real Arabia.
