Arabic Lesson Impress your family and friends when you learn how to count and say local greetings in Arabic, the language of Oman.
Arts and Crafts Make yourself some memories to take home. How about a hat or many other items with which our creative Chaica’s Club hosts can assist.
Beach Bowling Create ten bowling pins using a bucket and sand. Each player gets to roll the ball twice, like real bowling. The next player will have to create his or her bowling pins. At the end of the game, winner gets to kick over remaining sand pins while screaming, “I am the beach bowling master!”
Bookmarks for Bookworms Does it bug you when you lose your place while you are reading? Create a bright bookworm bookmark with crayons and recycled paper to keep your page from wriggling away!
Bunny, Bunny, Rabbit Game A holiday variation of “duck, duck, GOOSE!” We sit in a circle and while one child is "it" and hops around the circle tapping others on the head and saying, "bunny, bunny, bunny..." until he or she finally says, "RABBIT!" Both children hop around the circle trying to reach the vacated spot first.
Bunny Tag
Take a piece of Oman home with you by painting your own design on a rock from our Hajar Mountains. We’ve got all sorts of non-toxic paints and colours for you to create beautiful designs.
Mehndi ~ Henna Fun The art of applying Henna on the skin, this temporary application will last only a day or two. Henna is a celebrated tradition in Arabia, and you can have any design you like!
Mini Olympics All sorts of high energy sporting events are available for you to demonstrate your speed, strength, and teamwork. Racing, swimming, relay, and crazy balls with a spoon; all the fun competitions!
Mix and Match Juice Time Fresh juices are a great way to drink your daily requirement of fruits and vegetables. Make your own combination to discover a tasty treat.
Salt Dough Art We’ve made our own play dough out of salt, water, and flour. Now you get to shape, mould, and play with your very own.
Sand Art You may end up bringing some sand home in your suitcase, but here’s a fun memory you can create with our very own Zighy Bay sand. You’ll be able to write your name on paper with our sand and decorate with more colours.
Treasure Hunt Do you want to play Detective? Search the clues hidden around and find prizes. Some of them may be easy, but some may also put your brain to the test with puzzles. Either way, you’ll discover treasure!
Swim Relay
A child begins by being "it". Everyone hops like a bunny trying to keep from getting tagged by the child who is "it". Watch out, if you run you're "it“.
This relay race is fun and exciting, all the while splashing and swimming. Do you think you have what it takes to lead your team to the finish line?
Capture the Flag
Water Polo
Two teams each have a flag and the objective is to capture the other team's flag, located at the team's "base", and bring it safely back to their own base. Enemy players can be "tagged" by players in their home territory; these players are then sent back to their own territory, or "in jail". Try to capture their flag!
Young Picasso
Cookie, Cupcake and Pizza Making Our Chef’s team may have made the batter and dough, but it’s missing the last ingredient: fun! Let us gather and create some tasty snacks. Once they’ve baked we can decorate them with all sorts of goodies.
Crab Searching Have you seen the sand tunnels and towers along the beach? Inside lives a ghost crab, aptly named because they blend in so well. Come searching with us and you can see them scurry.
Egg Run and Toss How quickly can you run balancing an egg on a spoon? Team up and see who crosses the finish line first (no dropping the eggs!) Or, toss raw eggs with your partner, taking steps farther apart as you continue. The last team with their eggs wins!
Feed the Zighy Goats Have you counted all of the Zighy goats? There are lots of them waiting to play with you, and they’re all hungry! We like to give them organic scraps to ensure their health and safety, and as part of our environmentally conscious efforts to reduce waste. Come along and get a little closer to the wildlife.
Learn this popular keep-away game in our pool, or show us your skills. Someone is always trying to get the ball, and it’s your job to make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands! Show off your creativity and let your painting strokes fill the paper!
Zighy Cinema Watch new releases and old classics with popcorn while the family enjoys dinner. We’ve got great movies and friends to keep you company.
Al Feetean's Teenage Club Activities With easy access to the beach, volleyball, pétanque, tennis courts and Jungle Gym, our teenage club, al Feetean's Club is a great place to make new friends and get away from the family.

Speedball Speed-ball is a racket sport played solo, singles or double matches. The tennis ball is attached to a nylon string and pole. The players hit the ball back and forth and invert the rotation. To score points, the ball must run twice successively across the opponent’s ground without the opponent being able to return it.
Treasure Hunt In teams find the hidden clues throughout the resort. The first clue will lead you to the next and so on, to the final treasure.
Ultimate Frisbee The object of the game is to score points by passing a frisbee to a player in the opposing end zone, similar to an in-goal area in rugby. Players may not run with the disc, and must keep a pivot while holding the disc. We play this on the sand for extra challenge! We play this game on the beach volleyball court.

Friday, 22nd March International World Water Day is held annually on 22nd March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22nd March 1993 as the first World Water Day (WWD). We celebrate our own sustainable access to fresh water with activities throughout the day, designed to give back to our fragile environment and raise awareness of the global clean water crisis. 100% of the revenue generated today from Six Senses water sales throughout the restaurants will be placed into our Social and Environment Responsibilities Fund (SERF), meant to target clean water initiatives throughout the Sultanate of Oman. This gesture graduates our standard practice of donating 50% of our water revenue. 0830 - 0915 0930 - 1000 1000 - 1045 1415 - 1630 1415 - 1500 1530 - 1730 1700 - 1800 1800 - 1900 1830 - 2230 1930 - 2200 2130 - 2230

Tabouleh, hummus, babaganoush; it all sounds Arabic to you? If so, then this is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a classic Bedouin dining experience. Your family-style evening begins with a selection of local and organic salads, followed by the main course of lamb prepared in our underground oven (known as a “shua”). Be sure to leave space for the Arabic sweets and side dishes! Shua Shack is offered each Monday and Thursday* at 18:30 with prior reservation, and is priced at thirty-five OMR per person. Opt for the Lebanese beer and wine package for an extra fourteen OMR per person and enjoy flowing service of some of the region’s delectable white, rosé and red wines. *Please note that Shua Shack will not be offered Thursday, 28th March | Prices are subject to 9% government tax and 8.4% resort service charge.
