Description
Escape the bustling city of Dubai for a day and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Musandam, a spectacular peninsula located in the northernmost part of Oman.The Khasab side of Musandam, with its dramatic landscapes and serene waters, offers one of the most memorable experiences in the region.This full-day tour is a perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure—ideal for couples, families, and nature lovers.
Start your journey with a scenic drive from Dubai, crossing rugged mountain roads toward the Omani border.After border formalities, arrive at the charming port town of Khasab, known as the "Norway of Arabia" due to its stunning fjord-like inlets.
Once in Khasab, board a beautifully decorated traditional wooden dhow and set off on a cruise through the majestic fjords of Musandam.Along the way, witness towering limestone cliffs, hidden coves, crystal-clear waters, and picturesque fishing villages that seem frozen in time.
One of the major highlights of the cruise is the opportunity to see wild dolphins swimming and playing in their natural habitat.These friendly creatures often race alongside the dhow, offering perfect photo moments.
The dhow anchors near Telegraph Island, a historic British telecommunication outpost, and Seebi Island, both known for their calm, clear waters—ideal for swimming and snorkeling.Snorkeling equipment and life jackets are provided, making it easy to explore colorful marine life below the surface.
Enjoy leisurely swims in the cool, turquoise waters or simply relax on board.The dhow is equipped with traditional cushions and carpets for comfortable seating, as well as shaded areas and open decks for sunbathing.
During the cruise, guests are treated to a delicious buffet lunch, featuring a selection of grilled meats, rice, fresh salads, and fruits, along with unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee, and water.
