Hi everyone,

Finding suitable activities for your children during the school holidays in Oman can be tricky. We'd love to hear your tips and feedback on how to keep your kids busy during the holidays in Oman, depending on your finances.

Which activities are your children taking part in this year?

How did you enrol them for these activities, did you have to sign them up for it in advance?

How did you find out about these activities in Oman (via their school, by talking to other parents, through newspapers, social networks, etc.)?

Are these activities charged or free?

How many hours per day do they last? Are meals or snacks included? Is a transport service, such as a minibus to pick up the children at home in the morning and bring them back in the afternoon, offered?

Thanks for your contribution!

Diksha,

Hi Diksha,

Oman has a very beautiful landscape and a very friendly & thriving community. During school holidays there are lots of activities where children can participate, which includes summer camps, swimming clubs, Martial Arts clubs, language classes, music classes , sight seeing trips & tours and lot more. Most of such facilities are with some minimum fees ranging from 100 to 300 OMR per holiday season. Usually such activities take 3-6 hours, on specific days and the transportation is arranged by parents , in most of cases.

However due to very difficult and disturbing Covid situation in the country, this year most of children are kept confined to their homes and has to spend their leisure hours on gadgets & video games , like most of children in the entire world.

Hope things will be better & improve in the coming year.

Regards,
Asif
