Khor Sham Dhow Cruise and Beach Camping
09:30 - Arrival at Khasab Dhow Port
Check in at the harbor and meet your crew. The dhow is loaded, the water is waiting, and the fjords are calling. Take a moment to breathe in that salt air - today is going to be a good day.
10:00 - Full-day dhow cruise to Khor Sham
Step aboard your traditional wooden dhow and set course for Khor Sham, one of the most breathtaking fjords in the entire Arabian Peninsula. Towering limestone cliffs drop straight into glassy turquoise water, and the silence between the canyon walls is something you have to experience to believe. Keep your eyes on the bow: pods of dolphins are a regular feature on this stretch of water, often racing alongside the boat for the sheer joy of it. Lunch and refreshments are included on board throughout the day.
En route - Two swimming & snorkelling stops
The dhow anchors twice at handpicked spots inside the fjord, where the water is calm, clear, and alive. Pull on a mask and fins and drop below the surface - colorful reef fish, coral formations, and, if you're lucky, a gliding sea turtle. Life jackets are provided, and the crew are on hand throughout. This is snorkeling as it should be: wild, unhurried, and unforgettable.
16:00 - Transfer to private beach camp
As the afternoon light softens, your camp is already set up and waiting on a stretch of white sandy beach accessible only from the water. Swap the dhow for the shoreline, take a final swim, and watch the fjord walls glow as the sun dips behind them.
19:30 - Campfire, barbecue dinner & overnight at the beach
The campfire is lit. The grill is loaded. Gather around for a proper outdoor barbecue feast under one of the darkest, starriest skies you'll find anywhere in this part of the world. Tents and camping equipment are all set up - just bring yourself, an appetite, and a sense of wonder.
