Drive to Dibba and boarding the dhow
An early transfer runs up the east coast to Dibba, on the border between Fujairah and Oman, taking about two and a half hours from Dubai. At the harbour the group boards a traditional wooden dhow laid out with cushions and shaded decks.
Cruise through the Musandam fjords
The dhow sails into the fjords of the Musandam peninsula, where the Hajar mountains drop straight into deep water - the reason the coast is often called the Norway of Arabia. Dolphins are regularly seen alongside the boat on the way out.
Swimming, snorkelling and lunch on board
The boat anchors in a sheltered bay for swimming and snorkelling, with masks and fins provided and banana-boat rides available. A buffet lunch with soft drinks, tea and fruit is served on deck before the return sail and the drive back to Dubai.
