We’ll pick you up at 6AM in the morning from your hotel in Dubai, Sharjah, or Ras Al Khaimah. The shuttle transport will take you from the UAE and across the border to Khasab Harbor in Oman where our friendly team will meet you. En-route the drive, you can enjoy the panoramic coastal drive with spectacular views towards the Arabian Gulf. From the port, you can board the traditional Omani dhow for the full-day cruise into the spectacular Khor Shimm in the Musandam peninsula. You also get to see the coastal villages as we cruise along and there’s a very good possibility to sight the Playful Dolphins and many other exotic marine creatures. We will anchor at the famous Telegraph Island – it is a repeat station built in 1864 by the British to connect Bombay (India) with mainland Britain by an underwater and overland telegraphic cable passing via Basra in Iraq and Turkey. You will definitely enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the pristine and calm waters at Telegraph Island. Lunch and refreshments are served onboard. Snorkeling equipment and towels will be provided on the dhow.

A great day trip with lovely moments of relaxation on the dhow. The pick-up from the hotel worked really well. The most important information was exchanged in advance via WhatsApp. At the border everything goes quite quickly. The drivers try very hard to get through quickly. On the dhow you then look for a comfortable spot and sail across the Persian Gulf until the first dolphins are spotted. From that moment on you forget everything else around you for a little while. At the snorkeling stop, don't hesitate and have fun. Kayaking was a must for me and I would have loved to have had a lot more of it. But that would definitely have been a different trip in the end. 🤭 What could be done better? I would like the tour operators to find pleasant, modern solutions to avoid using plastic/styrofoam when providing their guests with food and drink. There are many dhow trips every day. It would make a difference!
