About this experience
Set aside the full day for this journey from the UAE to the Musandam coast.
An early pickup is followed by the road transfer and border formalities before you board the dhow. Once underway, the focus moves from travel to the water: relax on deck, watch the rocky coastline pass and join the activities available at the anchorage.
The described programme combines swimming and snorkelling with kayaking, a banana-boat ride and a speedboat outing. Lunch is served on board, with drinks and snacks available during the day.
Later stops may include a cave visit and fishing when the sea conditions allow. The sample schedule runs from an early morning departure to an evening return, but traffic, border processing and weather can change the timing.
This is an international excursion, so send the required traveller documents through the operator’s confirmed process in advance and carry the originals requested for your trip.
