Musandam Fjords Cruise
Musandam Fjords Cruise
After picking you up from your hotel between 6 and 6:30 am, we'll head north to the Musandam Peninsula. Our minibus will take us across the border with Oman and to the city of Khasab, from which our cruise will set sail.
We'll hop aboard a dhow boat and set off at 10 am on our cruise through the beautiful Musandam Fjords. During the cruise, we'll see pristine coves, emerald-coloured water, towering mountains and northern Oman's small villages. Don't forget your camera!
As we cruise the Arabian Sea, we'll spot huge flocks of cormorants. If we're lucky, we may also see some of the families of humpback dolphins that often swim in these waters.
Halfway through our cruise, we'll stop at the deserted island of Al Maqlab, also known as Telegraph Island. Did you know that this island played a very important role in British communications back in the 19th century? Even today, you can still see the ruins of an old telegraph signal repeater. You can take advantage of this stop to swim and snorkel in this pleasant spot.
Once we're back on the dhow, you can enjoy a tasty buffet lunch including soft drinks. After lunch, we'll make a final stop at Seebi Island. Here, you can continue swimming and admiring the beautiful scenery of the Musandam Fjords.
Having spent a pleasant and intense day at sea, we'll drop you off at your hotel between around 5 and 6 pm.
