Six Senses Zighy Bay Festive Programme 2013-2014

Festive Programme 21st December, 2013 – 7th January, 2014

Chaica’s Club Activities

Kick The Can

Our Chaica’s Club is centrally located adjacent to the Main Pool,

One player is chosen as "seeker” who stands about 10 paces away from the can, while others scatter across the playing field and try to sneak up and kick the can before the seeker calls out their names. If the seeker spots a player moving toward the can, the seeker calls out the name and counts out loud to three. Players caught by the seeker go to jail. If a player successfully kicks the can first, all players in jail are freed and a new seeker begins!

Arabic Lesson

Marco Polo

below Zighy Bar, and is available for those aged 4 – 12 years.

Hours of supervision in the club are: 09:00 – 12:00; 14:00 – 17:00; and 19:00 – 21:00.

Impress your family and friends when you learn how to count and say local greetings in Arabic, the language of Oman.

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!

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 an adorable ghost crab, aptly named because they blend in so well. Come searching with us and you can see them scurry.

Dive for Gold

Learn this popular keep-away game in our pool, or show us your skills. Someone is “it” and closes his or her eyes while calling out to the rest of the children in the pool in an attempt to catch them.

Henna Tattoo

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 Snorkelling

Here’s a great chance to learn how to snorkel in the comfort of our Main Pool. Feel the flippers on your feet and the funny mask on your face while breathing just below the surface.

Already know how? Well then come and join the fun!

Mix and Match Juice Fun

Fresh juices are a great way to drink your daily requirement of fruits and vegetables. Make your own combination to discover a tasty treat.

Enjoy this fun adventure in our Main Pool. Search for treasure underwater and race against yourself or new friends. There are all sorts of wonderful treasures to find!

Salt Dough Art

Feed the Zighy Goats

Sand Name

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.

Hajar Rock Painting

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.

Hand Line Fishing in the Marina

We try our hand at one of Oman’s oldest traditions, as we bait and send out a fishing line to see if we can catch a big fish! Why big? Because we can only catch adult fish so that we leave enough in the ocean.

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.

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!

Young Picasso

Show off your creativity and let your painting strokes fill the paper!

Zighy Cinema

Visiting Ornithologists Hanne and Jens Eriksen Hanne and Jens Eriksen are based, and have lived, in Muscat for 22 years as well as five years previously in Abu Dhabi. They came to Oman in 1986 from their native Denmark for Jens to take up a position as Professor of Chemistry at the newly opened Sultan Qaboos University. Since then, the Eriksens have traveled extensively in Arabia, the Middle East and all seven continents to study and photograph birds. They are authors or co-authors of 10 books on birds, including Birdwatching Guide to Oman and Common Birds in Oman, have won several photo competitions and have had more than 10,000 of their pictures published worldwide, including pictures on bank notes, coins and stamps of Oman.

Recently they consulted on the acclaimed documentary series BBC’s Wild Arabia throughout much of Oman’s filming. Join them for a special screening on Friday, 27th at the Main Beach of the second installment in the documentary: The Jewel of Arabia.

We are delighted to offer four daily activities with Hanne and Jens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 27th through 29th December.

Keep your eyes peeled as they wander the resort. How will you recognize them? Look for a telescope or two very enthusiastic birders with binoculars.

Scuba Diving Specialties Based in the marina at Zighy Bay, the centre offers the

expertise of vastly experienced international divers who conduct SSI and PADI courses – privately or in groups – in English, French, and German. Equipment is state-of-the-art with a small fleet of powerful boats, including 2 Royal Craft 35 that can accommodate up to 6 divers or 8 snorkellers. Local knowledge is, of course, all important, and ours is second to none. Enroll in one of the SSI specialty courses, and give yourself the gift of safe diving this holiday season!

Scuba Diver Certification – Scuba Diver is the perfect

course for those who do not have time to complete an entire Open Water Diver Program. You will be trained in the proper skills, knowledge, equipment and experience required to feel safe and confident during your open water dives. Certified Scuba Divers are entitled to go diving under the direct supervision of a Dive Leader up to a maximum depth of 12metres.

This course is offered at 220 OMR per person, including course material, equipment rental and certification.

Perfect Buoyancy Specialty – Improving your

buoyancy control skills is highly recommended. Every diver who wants to improve diving skills and at the same time wants to perform active environmental protection should take a this course.

This course is offered at 135 OMR per certified diver, including theory, practical assessment over two open-water dives, equipment rental, and credentials.

Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) Specialty – Have you ever dreamed of having longer no-decompression limits to take pictures or explore a wreck? Did you ever want to be safer while diving concerning the potential risk of decompression sickness?

Nitrox is the key. Due to the reduced fraction of nitrogen in your breathing gas, your body will have less work and the desaturation times will be reduced.

This course is offered at 160 OMR per certified diver, including course material, theory, two open-water dives, equipment rental, and credentials.

These experiences require prior reservation ~ Bookings available between at 08:45 and 14:15| Prices are subject to 9% government tax
