Mussandam Fjord

5.00Kasaab Mussandam Trip We did this trip on December 12th 2025, Organised by Alladin Lamps Tours. We were with 4 adults. Our Driver “Nandhan” was perfectly on time at 6am at the hotel. Nandhan is a very nice young guy, he presented himself and during the trip we also learned a lot about his region of origin: Kerala. We had a comfortable voyage for about 3 hours, with a smooth border passing to Oman. Nandhan organized regular stops for coffee, leg stretching and beautiful views on the road. When driving we saw some active fisher men and Nandhan was able to connect with them so we had the opportunity to see what they catch. Arriving at Kassaab he guided us to the Dhow that would take us for the cruise on the dam. Organized by Al Taif Tours. Nandhan presented us to Captain Isa and Ismail, both were taking care for us during this day trip. First we sailed and enjoyed the “Fjords”. They offered us Ghawa coffee and dades, fruits, soft drinks and a well served lunch. We were able to snorkel. And Ismail got us some sea fresh scallops which he prepared on board. This was a top traditional, simple, cuisine experience. After that we sailed to explore the dolphins. As always this is a unique and joyfull experience. After that our captain Isa saw another boat having technical problems, he suggested to help his colleagues by diving and free that boat’s propeller from a rope. After some fishing experience we sailed back to the port, were Nandhan was waiting for us. We had as save and pleasant drive home. It was the 4th time we did this trip and this was our best experience. In 2 months we are going back with our children, no doubt with whom we will travel again. A big Thank you to Nandhan, Isa and Ismail Patrick Sandra, Ruud & Els

5.00I feel like I really need to leave a review here. It’s easy to have a great experience when everything goes according to plan — but the true test of a travel company is how they handle things when plans don’t go smoothly. That’s exactly where Aladdin truly shined for us. We had booked our trip and were beyond excited, only to be stopped at the Oman border and informed that my partner couldn’t travel because his UAE residency visa was still in progress (enter panic mode!). Luckily, it was just the two of us in the car. Our chauffeur Nandu was absolutely amazing — calm, kind, and immediately proactive. He contacted the coordinator, and despite this situation being completely outside their control, the entire team genuinely tried to help. They offered alternative activities and even suggested rescheduling the same tour for a later date. Here’s where the magic continues: my partner received his UAE visa just one day later (!). We contacted Aladdin again, and they immediately arranged another trip for us — this time organizing it as a private tour, since there was no other group scheduled for that Saturday. No hassle, no hesitation. The communication via WhatsApp was outstanding: fast, efficient, polite, and incredibly reassuring. Honestly, I was in awe of the level of customer service — it felt personal, human, and truly caring. We even ended up with the same driver, Nandu — and if you’re lucky enough to get him, you’re in for a treat. He goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy every moment: playing your favorite music, stopping spontaneously for a sunset because he notices you’re enjoying it — those little thoughtful touches make all the difference. In short: this company is awesome. Professional, flexible, kind, and genuinely invested in giving you a great experience. Highly, highly recommended.
A beautiful day ...

5.00It was a wonderful experience! Our driver, Nandhan, was very friendly and helpful. The excursion started on time. The drive to Oman was really nice. After the border, the coastal road begins. Fascinating scenery! The boat trip was great too! The food on the boat tasted good. Clear recommendation.
Great Day Trip

5.00If you want to visit the Omani fjord from Khasab in the best way you have come to the right place. You will find a 5* service whether it is the preparation of the activity with a very effective team. But also with the driver, punctual, giving very good explanations or tips. Or finally, with the crew that will take you on a real tour of the fjord and not just a quick pass. You will have the best spots to see swarms of fish but also to see dolphins swimming next to the boat....if they feel like...or a meal where the quality is there. Finally, the price remains normal compared to the service. You will find less expensive but with less service...
Great landscape and nice...

5.00It was a very nice day trip to Oman! The duration was long, but it was worth it. I can't say that it was a super incredible experience, but it was quite nice! The captain and the other man on the boat were very good. Also, the people I communicated with online were friendly. Our drive, Nandhan, was really good! He was friendly, hard-working and helpful. He was communicating with us, telling us some historical facts and did also some stops. Generally, I recommend this trip from the UAE to Oman.
Fantastic day. Stunning scenery. Well-organised trip.

5.00A fantastic day out, with stunning scenery. Was contacted at the point of booking for passport details and the day before to inform of pick up time. The drive was prompt and friendly. As for the boat trip, we were lucky enough to have dolphins follow our dhow boat into the area. Food was lovely and opportunities to swim, snorkel and kayak. Thank you.
A fun but way too long of a day

3.00We booked on a Sunday that happened to be the day of the annual Dubai run. The driver couldn’t reach us not get to our hotel so after 50 minutes of calls we walked through the nearest Metro station to his car. After another half hour to pick up the third passenger we were off on our 3 hour commute. The boat ride was fun. Saw lots of dolphins and stopped twice for snorkeling. Water was warm but murky. Saw many fish but not colorful in murky seas. We were thinking maybe this long day was worth it. But another 4 hour return (30 minutes out of our way to drop off one other passenger) convinced us that this 14 hour day was not worth it. This was our second trip to Dubai and it will be our last.
