On our 8th day in Oman, we headed to Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve and broke the 4.5 hours roadtrip from Alila Jabal Akhdar in Sur. Turtles in Oman have been one of the highlights of this trip and if you like them as much as we do, this Turtle Reserve Oman should be part of your itinerary.

rbsh

bsh

Luxury eco glamping is the way to go in here and make sure you book a family tent well in advance as it’s just 3 of them.

cof

bsh

Ras al jinz is a once in a lifetime experience seeing turtles laying eggs at moonlight, heading back to the sea plus babies just hatched finding their way at night or at sunrise. And what a difference between a 150kg mother turtle and the fragile tiny babies! Speed, size, confidence and vulnerability could not be more different!

rbsh

The nature is exposed in here at its best, beautiful and its cruelest. At night we witnessed the huge turtles laying eggs at moonlight. They are into a trance and laborious work: digging holes, laying the eggs, burying them in the sand. It takes about 50 days to hatch and turtle mums and baby turtles will not meet again. There will be also baby turtles hatching and going back to the sea, a perilous journey between the beach filled with huge hungry crabs, birds, foxes. I came back at 4:30am in the morning to witness some more, at this hour the huge turtles are returning back to the sea after an exhausting laying eggs trip and babies who hatched slightly later or got lost are trying to find the sea and avoid the predators.It’s been so emotional to help 3 babies on their way to the water – fragile and tiny, cute and so exposed. Especially emotional as you’ll equally find lots of tiny shells on the beach that didn’t make it and have been eaten or injured deadly. A huge contrast to the huge green turtles of Oman heading back to the sea surreally slowly and beautifully in the sunrise colours.

  Ras al Jinz Turtle Reserve centre has some good educational content and I found the tours whilst busy, relatively well managed. They will be reinforcing advice and guidance from the beginning in terms of whispering at the beach and no loud talking, staying in groups keeping lights off the mother turtles and babies, never between their way to the see, not touching etc.

cof

bsh

Turtles laying eggs and in need of privacy and whispering do not go well with our young easily overexcited unpredictable toddler. The 5 years old joined me in the evening and luckily Ras Al Jinz Turtle Reserve guests have priority and start earlier. Tears in his eyes just like me, he soaked up the privileged experience and was beyond wise around the mother turtles and the babies! We wrapped up the tour about 11pm and on our way back to our glamping base we staired at the huge full moon and stars – an unforgettable evening!

To wake up in less than 5 hours proved too much of a challenge for him, so I embarked on the 4:30am journey by myself, leaving all 3 boys sleeping and meeting them again at early breakfast.

rbsh

sdr

Temperatures get incredibly high quickly in the morning, by 10:30 our car thermometer already showed 30 degrees (and that’s late October!). By 11am we were fully packed and ready for our next adventures, Kempinski Muscat with a Wadi Shab stop. So if you or the kiddies like to enjoy longer the eco glamping tents, we suggest you arrive 4pm rather than 7pm as we’ve done.

rbsh

A shorter stop in Sur would have been probably better, especially that the walk in the beach and kids playground left us a bitter taste seeing so much garbage spread around. Whilst infrastructure in Oman is in a good state and Sur pedestrian sides feature marble, surely there’s more education to be done, proper waste management and recycling on day to day basis.

In our past travels we came across other turtles, but never in such meaningful context. We’ve been very lucky to see them Praia do Forte reserve in Brazil, 30min drive from Salvador; Seychelles diving and on land; Maui Hawaii by the beach and the shallow shores even when swimming; Nevis by Four Seasons lovely beach; Egypt and Maldives whilst diving.

But the green turtles in Oman and the encounters in here truly spoilt us, first the sailing daytrip at the beautiful Al Kieran bay : bare mountains and crystal turquoise waters, filled with dolphins, snorkelling huge green turtles and colourful fish.

There are 3 Shangri La hotels catering graciously for various circumstances: Al Waha – at one end, casual and best for families (kids club is in there along with a glorious playground by the sea, many tobogganing pool slides and even a football pitch); Al Bandar – in the middle, combining families and business and many glorious restaurants; and Al Husn – the other end, upscale and adults only, perfect for grown up escapes and honeymoons.

The beach between the Shangri La hotels is large, beautiful and with soft sand – perfect for strolls along the coast, swimming and snorkelling with colourful fish.

I investigated with the 5 years old the nearby coves on our 2nd day. We also had glimpses of Al Hussn elegant beach beds and cabanas, as well as villas – wished we had an extra day to leave the kids at the Club and indulge into a peaceful half day pampering us with no kids shouting of excitement or various !

The 3rd day we were in for a proper treat with Al Quantab divers: dolphin watching Oman and snorkelling with sea turtles rarely gets better than this!

The yacht was sleek and comfortable: my boys love to snooze / go into a certain type of trance with the sea motions – which we as parents love and laugh about (afterall they are hyper active most of the time so this is a nice break!) , waking up in excitement to see the dolphins (especially the 5 years old!) and loving to swim with me (especially the 2 years old!).

We even attempted a first time snorkeling in 4, which was not too bad logistically considering our 2 years old shouty little dictator – even awarded by the biggest ever turtle i have seen swimming graciously next to me!

Some of our fellow snorkelers reported seeing up to 4 – wow, what a treat! The green turtles that I have seen on this trip including at Ras Al Jinz have been my highlight if years of diving worldwide – Oman has been that kind of experience when snorkeling is as good as diving!

Just wrapped up our fabulous adventure holidays Oman with kids and can’t stop raving about these magic lands with rugged coastlines and vast deserts where tradition and progress go hand in hand. 10 days in Oman were fantastic, enriching and so diverse: we took in the stunning turquoise shades of the Arabian sea, breathless landscapes of the Hajar Mountains and the shifting sands of Wahiba, swam in lush wadis, trekked in dramatic canyons, explored an awesome turtle reserve and then headed back to Muscat blue shores.

It was a journey of incredible contrasts, following in the footsteps of the pioneering explorers of old and taking in rich natural highlights that Oman offers. Self driving has been easy, infrastructure in great shape,  petrol and 4X4 affordable and Omani super friendly.

We started these wonderful adventure holidays Oman with Shangri La nearby Muscat, with its glorious natural setting with bare mountains in the background – that one truly gets to appreciate best on a boat, paddle boarding or kayaking. The highlight of those 3 days was the sailing where one can soak in the bare mountains versus the turquoise shades of the Arabian sea, spotting dolphins and snorkeling with lots of colourful fish and huge green turtles at Bandar Al Khayran.

The kids were smitten by Shangri-La array of pools and activities, lazy river that one hops in, floats or swims with a gentle current. The beach between the hotels is large, beautiful and with soft sand – perfect for strolls along the coast as well as swimming with colourful fish.

The waters are blue and calm, perfect for Oman with kids holidays or simply exploring the nearby coves kayaking. We stayed at Al Bandar in a large beautiful room with views over green gardens and Arabian Sea, in between Al Waha (the dedicated family resort with endless kids facilities) and Al Husn (the dedicated separate adult only hotel). A dedicated post to Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah will follow shortly.

Sunset Wahiba Sands

The fourth day we left for Arabian Oryx Camp in the Bedu deserts midday to allow for a relaxed journey through the beautiful red shifting Wahiba sands. Once we arrived at Al Wasil (the last little town on the road), we deflated the tyres of our 4X4 and drove off road through the red sanded dunes staring at the surreal Dali-esque landscapes.

We spent at Oryx Camp 2 nights to make the most out of the desert and nearby wadis – dune climbing at sunset and sunrise, camel riding, indulging into camp fires at night, Bedu dinners and music, as well as stargazing. There’s also dune bashing, sand boarding and quad riding for the adventurous souls !

We were hosted the first night and given the wonderful treatment and warm hospitality we extended for the second. We had a very spacious 2 beds Arabian villa, big enough to fit 2 families like ours and with a beautiful travertine porch and outside sitting space to allow extensive stargazing and indulging into coffee at sunrise.

A dedicated post will follow shortly, this has been the perfect base for exploring the area around, including the lush Wadi Bani Khalid.

The 6th day we headed thereafter for the mountains for some serious climbing in dramatic canyons and luxury pampering at Alila Jabal Akhdar. In less than an hour drive deep into mountains, temperatures go from 36 degrees to a pleasantly refreshing 18 degrees celsius. Nearby there is the heart of the old Omani Imamate, including the unesco patrimony Nizwa and fortresses.

Alila has been as usual an amazing stay with refined cuisine, perfect sleek integration in the rocky landscapes, warm service – a wonderful unique memorable experience. Via Ferrata climb dazzled my head and senses with its vertiginous slopes, rocks and caves and thereafter there was some well deserved pampering in Alila infinity pool soaking in the sunsets. Nizwa fortresses will have to wait our next trip as we stuck to the nature on these adventure holidays Oman and Alila pampering for those 2 days!

Eco glamping is the way to go in here and make sure you book a family tent well in advance as it’s jut 3 of them.

Our last leg of these very active adventure holidays Oman was Kempinski in Muscat – the city’s latest 5 star addition, where grand sleek design with Arabic influences meets European sophistication, cuisine and wines are great and service is impeccable.

On our list for the next times also: Daymaniyat islands – for fabulous diving, Salalah – the very southern tip for green mountains, streams, waterfalls and more vibrant blue waters and at the other side, closer to Dubai, Zighy Bay. Oman we had a blast and we will be back!
