Escape the buzz of Dubai for a day and cruise through Musandam’s peaceful fjords, swim in clear waters, and enjoy a full buffet lunch on a traditional dhow.

Getting started

Begin your journey with a hotel pickup from Dubai (based on selected transfer option). Keep your passport ready for border control—Omani visa formalities are arranged for you in advance. After a 2-hour scenic drive past the Hajar Mountains and coastal views, you’ll arrive at Dibba harbor, where your dhow cruise begins.

What to expect

Step aboard a double-deck wooden dhow, styled in traditional Omani design, and sail into the calm waters of Musandam.

  • Khor Sham: Cruise through this iconic fjord, known for its steep limestone cliffs and quiet coves.

  • Snorkeling & swimming: Stop in sheltered bays where you can snorkel, swim, or float with life jackets—all equipment is provided.

  • Banana boat ride & fishing: Try a short banana boat ride or join a handline fishing session from the dhow.

  • Lunch & relaxation: Enjoy a buffet lunch served onboard with soft drinks and fresh fruit. Relax on deck as the boat drifts past coastal villages and rocky inlets.

  • Dolphin spotting: Keep an eye out for playful dolphins often seen swimming alongside the dhow.
