Oman

Oman is probably one of the most beautiful countries in the Gulf and the people of Oman are the most welcoming and warmest people you would come across in any travel! I have been to Oman before but they are a couple of hotels and areas I would love to try this year which is Six Senses Zighi Bay and Alila Jabal Akhdar. Keep in mind that the best time to visit is between November and April which is considered the high season and its when you enjoy numerous outdoor and day time activities.

Six senses Zighi Bay: is a village style resort which offers luxury villas with private pools and is located on the sandy beach of Zighy Bay. The hotel is just a 12o minute drive from Dubai International Airport and I heard that the drive is a scenic journey. During your stay, you can embark on a series of experiences and adventures around the area including snorkeling, paragliding, mountain biking, hiking, scuba diving, rock climbing and sunset cruising.

Alila Jabal Akhdar: an ultra-luxurious resort with views of the Al Hajar Mountains and where all rooms have a panoramic mountain view. The resort offers a variety of daily activities, including hiking, cycling, yoga, cooking classes, picnic in the wadis or a tour to the villages to experience the warm hospitality of the Omani people. The property is 2.5 hours away from Muscat International Airport and a transfer shuttle can be arranged by the hotel.
