Dubai, Oman, Ras Al Khaimah / Arabian nights & desert delights

Glitzy cities, hair-raising mountain thrills and languid desert days, this joyride through all of Arabia’s best bits is the perfect antidote to boredom.

Few places know how to entertain like Arabia, its ideal mix of parallels creating a heady concoction of chaos and calm. The razzle-dazzle of Dubai kicks things off on the very tip of the Palm Island, in your three-day base at the iconic Atlantis, The Palm. The beating heart of a city that speaks for itself, you’re only one step away from a helicopter ride to pinpoint each spot where unique curiosities have long-transformed human potential. Whether it’s man-made beaches, iconic landmarks or sandy desert stretches, this is a place that must be seen to be believed.

Enroute to your sandy finishing line, just two hours away from Dubai yet seemingly a world apart, are the mountains of the Musandam Peninsula in Oman. Beyond the peaks, arrive onto Zighy Bay beach by 4x4 or a recommended paraglide. Floating over the stone-walled retreats, you’ll be more than ready to take a step-back in tradition for some comforting solitude. Join in on mountain biking and village treks learning about the local communities or just take some family downtime.

The Al Wadi desert in Ras Al Khaimah then plays host for the last couple of nights. By day, looking out for Arabian oryx and sand gazelles, archery, biking and horse riding fill the schedule, while nights spent stargazing reveal crystal-clear skies you only get without light pollution.

Itinerary highlights:

  • Access to Aquaventure Waterpark – the world’s largest – at Atlantis, The Palm
  • Unearth the lives of local people in Sabatyn, Oman
  • Varying from resort to resort, the Grow with Six Senses programme at Zighy Bay incorporates six pillars of wellness and unique experiences to help youngsters reconnect with themselves and the world around them
  • Sunset cruise of the Haffa Bay
  • Desert archery, falconry, camel rides, and stargazing at The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert
  • Learn about outdoor survival and Bedouin traditions on the Ritz Kids Rangers programme
  • Riding the world’s longest zipline, the Jais Flight

Wake up to the dream-like vision of Atlantis and you’ll soon find that there’s so much going on, there’s almost no reason to leave. Wander the cove-like depths of The Lost Chambers Aquarium, before riding the thrills and spills of the world’s largest waterpark, Aquaventure. Test your nerve on the iconic Leap of Faith and find your family favourite across the 100-snaking slides and attractions. By nightfall, dine at a plethora of celebrity chef restaurants, including the signature Ossiano, where those all important messages to loved ones are best delivered by divers to a backdrop of sealife that go dancing behind.

Next up is a tantalising transition of Arabian-excellence via 4x4 or a paraglide to Zighy Bay. Days are best spent in the secluded four-bedroom beachfront enclave at The Private Reserve, built with an exclusive open court in the style of traditional Omani architecture with a splash of chic in it’s private infinity pool, or the two beachfront villas at The Retreat. The mountains call all-hikers and rock climbers, while the village of Sabatyn unearths the lives of local people who share their customs. Welcome nightfall with a campfire picnic and from here, you might just see the horizon that will later become your sun set, on the spectacular cruise of the Haffa Bay.

Ras Al Khaimah

Amalgamate Arabia old and new, in your final stop at The Ritz-Carlton, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Wadi Desert. In its villas that blend traditional Bedouin architecture with modern amenities, it’ll come as no surprise that you can enjoy anything from archery to hydrotherapy in this family hot-spot. Like the sands to a dune, you’ll be stacking new life skills, with anything from camel rides and equestrian lessons to falconry and outdoor survival classes. Each thrill, in turn, has been leading to this moment, as you swoop the jagged mountain peaks and face the world’s longest zipline at Jais Flight. Watch the stars come up during evening meals and grab for a pair of binoculars, in a bid to find the biggest and the brightest of planets.
