Outdoor Activities for Kids
A tent, a telescope or a kayak
can turn a weekend into a small adventure. These outdoor activities for kids give families a chance to explore the UAE and nearby Musandam together, with guides to help children learn along the way.
Stargazing and camping in Al Quaa
For children who keep asking what is up in the sky, a desert evening brings those questions to life. They can learn about stars and planets, look through a telescope and experience a night outdoors.
Choose camping or glamping during the cooler season and make time to enjoy the dunes together. Parents join the experience too, so the discoveries become shared memories.
Dhow cruising and dolphin watching in Khasab
Take the adventure onto the water in Musandam, Oman. A traditional dhow cruise offers mountain views and the chance to spot wild dolphins, with swimming, snorkelling and kayaking when conditions allow.
It is a chance to introduce children to marine life and enjoy the sea together. Dolphins are wild, so sightings vary. Water activities should suit each child’s ability and follow the guide’s instructions.
Camping and hiking at Jebel Jais
For curious walkers, Jebel Jais adds mountain paths, wide views and a night at camp. Our trips use Camp 1770 and combine camping with guided walks, giving children a closer look at the mountain landscape.
Guides can introduce the area’s landscape and local stories along the way. Share your children’s ages and walking experience when booking so we can recommend a suitable trip and route.
