Turtle power in Oman

Children will love the overnight excursion to spot nesting green turtles, which is one of the many fantastic attractions forming part of the Gentle Family Journey in Oman. The tour can be tailor-made for your family, but the options also include dolphin watching by boat, picnics on the beach and playing on the incredible Wahiba sand dunes. Parents will enjoy visiting the historic port of Muscat, along with the evening Palaces and Forts catamaran cruise. Hotels on the tour can include the child-friendly Crowne Plaza, as well as the Shangri-La’s Bar Al Jissah Resort. Perfect for a half-term break with a difference, a seven-night package costs from £2,381 per adult and £1,362 per child, including B&B and flights.
