Musandam Khasab Day Trip and Dhow Cruise from Dubai

Highlights

  • Visit neighboring Oman and enjoy a dhow trip along Musandam's rocky shores

  • Pass cliffs and bays, look for dolphins, and stop to swim and snorkel

  • Seamless and easy: onboard lunch, drinks, entry visa, and transport included

Summary

Board an air-conditioned minivan at your Dubai hotel and trace the UAE coast to Musandam. This stunning peninsula area is part of neighboring Oman and is composed of craggy mountains and tiny villages. Once across the Omani border, drive to the picturesque port of Khasab, and settle on your dhow (traditional Arabian boat) to cruise along the shoreline, known as the “Norway of Arabia” for its cliffs, inlets, and aquamarine water. Admire the scenery from the open or shaded decks, and watch for dolphins around the boat. Drop anchor off Telegraph Island, home to a British telegraph station in the 1800s, and enjoy a swim or snorkel (equipment supplied) in the cool, clear water. Then, savor an Arabic-style buffet lunch on deck, before making a second swim stop and finishing your cruise at Khasab. Your tour ends with a drop-off at your Dubai hotel.
