But before we start with the list here are some of the key points you need to keep in mind while planning your travel:

• Summer is the weather in Oman and you can’t dodge it, well, unless you plan your trip in the Khareef or the monsoon season. This summer is something that you’d experience for the first time and hence you need to pack the clothes accordingly as well. Or else be ready for a showdown with your kids crying all day long, if you get them thick jackets! 

• As dressing doesn’t really matter for kids, you need to make sure that the dresses you pack for yourself are modest enough. While it might not be compulsory for a kid to wear a headscarf in the mosque, you might want to carry a headscarf just in case if it is asked.

• You need to plan places and days accordingly. As for example on a Friday there might be some places you can visit while the others might remain close as Friday is considered to be a holy day in Oman. So make sure you’ve got a list ready as on which day where do you need to go!

• The most important key point is to take an Oman electronic visa by visiting the official site and getting it ready before your trip. You need to apply for the kids as well as they also need a visa to enter the country.
