What you'll do
Upon arrival at the port, our Shore2Shore (English-speaking) companion will be waiting for you with an identification sign. From there, we will head to the dock, where our traditional dhow awaits us: a wooden boat with its characteristic lateen sail, featuring a classic design and authentic charm.
In this unique experience, you will enjoy the ride comfortably seated on cushions on the floor, with backrests to support your back, as is customary on this type of traditional boat.
This tour is ideal for the whole family, thanks to the high likelihood of spotting dolphins in their natural habitat.
We will sail through the impressive Musandam fjords, known as one of the most unique biospheres in the world. These fjords, nicknamed "The Norway of Arabia", stretch between the majestic limestone mountains of Hajar, creating a landscape of unparalleled beauty.
We will set sail towards the Khor Sham fjord, the longest and most imposing in the region. During the journey, we will admire the crystal-clear turquoise waters, surrounded by steep cliffs. With a bit of luck, playful dolphins will accompany us on the way to Telegraph Island, where we will anchor for a relaxing break.
You will have time to:
- Swim in the calm waters of the fjord.
- Practice snorkeling and discover the rich marine life.
- Enjoy drinks, tea, coffee, soft drinks, and fresh fruit, included in the excursion.
For your comfort and safety, we offer snorkeling equipment and life jackets at no additional cost.
At the end of this unforgettable experience, we will return to the port for the farewell.
We hope you enjoy this magical day in the Musandam fjords!
