She went on: 'I understand that there are a lot of people still in feeling really calm and safe however, we wanted to be back to our babies, work and normality and we felt like Oman was our best option.
'We made our way to Oman from Dubai with some of our friends via private transfer, we used this company @skyevipcarrental and found them to be professional, reasonably priced and comfortable.'
Vicky continued: 'All in all, the journey took us around 11 hours, including around 2-3 hours at the border crossing, checking documents and passports and cost about £130pp'.
'For anyone stuck in Dubai and wanting to get home via Oman, I will put more information on @vickysvacays.. I just don't want to overwhelm or bore anyone on here. We are going to try and enjoy our last days away and explore Oman hopefully.
'The last week has been quite unsettled and we understand people feeling unsafe and uncertain.. we have experienced moments like that, but ultimately feel like it's important we acknowledge our position of privilege.
