There are moments when you feel the urge to pack up your bag and escape the busy city life.

You just read my mind. Especially when I live in NY city. And yes, the only thing bothering me is the long flight especially when my wife is terrified of flying. Anyway, we do love short trips and leave the city as much as we possibly can. The place in Oman you are describing is surprisingly very close to famous Dubai. You can as well experience two vacations in one season. At least that’s what I would do, if I decided to spend my vacation there. Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort Looks really like a paradise. The view is a million dollar view as they say in Manhattan city. Interior seems very nice, new and clean. We actualy have “a lazy river” close by. I was there few times in the past and as lazy as it sounds, it’s actualy pretty much fun. I also love the mountains near by. I would definitely climb it, if it’s allowed. Watching mini turtles to hatch and then being released to the ocean would be really emotional especially for my wife. She really loves animals and she is definitely not shy to show her emotions 😆. Of course, watersports is a must as well as a great food. That would be one of the most important items I would be looking for while searching for vacation. I’m glad you enjoyed your vacation to the fullest @explorernations!
