Turtle Beach Resort (Ras Al Hadd)

Turtle Beach Resort sits on its own quiet bay at Ras Al Hadd, at the eastern tip of Arabia — the practical overnight that turns the Ras Al Jinz turtle tour from a brutal late-night drive into an easy holiday.
Families get barasti-roofed chalets by the sand, interconnecting rooms, a dedicated kids' pool, free kids' meals and a playground; the dhow-shaped beach restaurant does buffet dinners while the kids dig in the sand.
Stay the night, do the 9pm or (better) 5am turtle walk 20 minutes down the road, and swim the morning away before the drive home.

Swim kit, sun cream, torches with red film for the turtle walk (the reserve forbids white light).
