OMAN with family, Oman with children
This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the fort. We were almost alone to discover the nooks and crannies of the very well-restored castle, open the treasure chests, and brave the bats that fly away when you enter certain rooms

Highlights: The children loved exploring the fort, opening treasure chests and braving the bats. There were hardly any visitors. In each fort, they have set up "old-fashioned" rooms, with cushions on the floor and rugs, perfect for a little break with the children! ✨
