WELCOME TO OMAN


Let's move on from Paris... to Oman. Some could call it an unconventional holiday destination. When we were choosing a beach holiday for this winter the duration of the flight was a factor that weighed quite a lot. Therefore we opted out of eg. the Caribbean or some Asian destinations. The reason for this is that Baby M is at the worst possible travelling age and whereas with just one child I never minded with two I do. Also having an older child I now know that this time is fleeting; next year this time I probably won't mind a longer flight again. 


To get to this particular part of Oman you take a flight to Dubai, which is six to seven hours from London. From Dubai it's a further two hour car drive but at least you break the journey up plus any young child is bound to sleep the whole car journey after being tired from travelling. So this is the view that faced us upon our arrival on the Oman side of the border. Beautiful but totally different to anything I'd ever seen before.

 



I'm glad we chose this destination. We've had a really lovely time. Quiet, relaxed, family time.


I'll tell you more about the hotel in a separate post but it's called Zighy Bay and so far I have nothing but positive to say about it.

  2. Ihanaa reissua Minna! Me oltiin Omanissa pari vuotta sitten (Etelä puolella) ja tykättiin kovasti. Kaikkea muuta kuin turistirysä, omaa rauhaa, loistava palvelu ja upeita hotelleita. Lähtisin koska tahansa takaisin! :)

    1. Kiitos Sofia! Me mietittiin Muscatin Chedin ja tämän välillä, mutta Zighy Bay lapsiystävällisempi, joten päädytiin tähän. Kokeilisin tosi mielellään myös muita Omanin alueita ja Muscat olis kiva nähdä. Kiva kuulla, että teilläkin hyvä kokemus.
