Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Musandam Travel - Day Tours, Dubai United Arab Emirates
mountainous region lies on the northeast tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
Cross the Omani border and drive to Khasab, Musandam’s small and pretty mountain-backed capital. Here, board a traditional Omani dhow and set sail around the spectacular Musandam coastline, known as the 'Norway of Arabia' for its soaring fjords, barren mountains and turquoise waters.
Enjoy complimentary soda, mineral water and fresh fruit on board, and soak up the magnificent scenery from the sunny or shaded deck areas. Keep a lookout for pods of playful dolphins in the waters around the bow. Musandam’s seas are home to significant populations of humpback and bottle nose dolphins, so there’s a good chance of sightings.
Around midway through your cruise, drop anchor off the rocky islet of Telegraph Island. Take a swim or use the provided snorkeling equipment to waft through the bright blue waters among schools of angelfish, wrasse and parrot fish.
Then, dig into a delicious Arabic-style buffet lunch on board. Savor dishes such as grilled chicken, pasta salads, flat breads and hummus (chickpea dip) as you bask in the setting and sunshine.
In the afternoon, enjoy more time to swim, snorkel or kick back on deck. Then, relish the last views of the coastline as you sail back to Khasab.
After your 6-hour cruise, bid farewell to your skipper and crew, and drive back to Dubai, where your trip ends at your hotel.

The staff were real pros, through and thorough. Everything went smoothly from the hotel pickup to the cruise itself and drop off in the evening. The boat crew was personable, friendly, fun, and clearly just wanted you to have a good time. Would highly recommend if you have the time.

A different experience caped by dolphins swimming alongside the Dhow.The meal served was OK too. The day was a bit too long owing to the distance travelled from Dubai and the length of the boat ride.

Wonderful! The crew for our tour was so very kind and helpful. They provided numerous snacks, beverages and a tasty lunch. Also gave us wonderful insight into the fishing villages and pointed out many interesting landmarks along the way.
We had a chance to snorkel, swim and just enjoy the beauty of this region of the world. Would highly recommend.
The only downside was that I booked this through Oceanair Travel and was told we only needed a copy of our passport. Fortunately, when the driver came to pick us up he asked if we had the originals, as that was what we would need to get through border crossings. So we ran back upstairs to grab the passports. Glad for that, or we may have had issues at the borders.

The boat trip was really wonderful and all of the staff were great! I wish I had known that it was 13 hours and that half of it would be in a van.

The agreed prices changed several times. Sudden hidden charges were brought up by the tour operator (Musandam Ravel) such as payment with credit card, payment with PayPal, prices on the website were simply ignored and imprecise description of age limit led to a constantly increase in total amount. Last price hike was demanded late in the evening before the tour start. Agreed pick up times were changed. The tour itself was OK, with employees on the boat and the driver being very friendly and very helpful.

One of the most beautiful and unique places on the planet. Captain Abdul Aziz was the ideal guide. Humpback dolphins. Coral reefs. Fjords, and soaring mountains showing thousands of years of ocean history, in fine layers. Do it!

paid a premium price which is double the market price expecting the quality and experience will be different than other operators that are much cheaper however was surprised when we took the show there was other people that our nor in our tour that was on the same trip who paid half of we paid fie it was filled if kids plating and screaming .the food was cheap low standard and quality. disappointed for what we got in comparison to what was paid for you can do the exact same tout for a much cheaper price...also don't expect any adventure it's more if a cruise which was bit relaxing at all as people outside our tour joined with many kids screaming the while time

Very pleasant and relaxing trip. Friendly , helpful and engaged staff, very good atmosphere. Good lunch on board. Take some food with you as car ride is 3:30-4h to the port in Oman. Snorkeling and dolphin watching were highlights of the trip
