Dear Nora, my name is Khaled & I am from Bahrain, I work here at one of the biggest Resorts (Reethi Rah) as a trainee & I know what a Gulf Arabic Family with kids would like to have on their Vacation,
if they are kids below 12 then it is just a perfect place to go to IF you choose the right hotel that has the proper Kids Club to ave the kids join,
If the kids are teenagers, Still they can come to use the water sports, Gym, Diving & Snorkeling Activities in most of the resots, I always host Gulf arabic Families, Specially from Saudi, UAE & Kuwait,
It is the Safest country, 100% Muslims, it is like Paraise mashalla, I am loving it here & Trust me, Do not miss it..
Cheers
