Firstly it was like traveling back in time being in a Persian carpet bottom dhow! Our group was small, 12 tourists and 2 crew. Very little common language but very pleasant group. Yes the water was gorgeous. Swimming and snorkeling among schools of yellow finned and electric blue fish. Dolphins playing in our wake for long periods. Wow! The 1 shipmate was wonderful, bringing around fruits and cold drinks repeatedly as well as preparing a beautiful lunch. We came across a very large group of cormorants, estimated 2,000-6,000. Really really exceptional and creating a special life long memory.

This was a great and welcome day out from the frenetic pace of Dubai. Everything ran smoothly. A 6.30 start from our hotel , quite doable , and with one other pick up we were on our way up through the other emirates to Oman . Don’t see too much from the motorway but could spot plenty of camels the further north you went . Not usually one for 6 hr boat trips but this was done very well . Well fed and watered with plenty of activities .If you’re going on one of these trips make sure you’ve got the one with the border taxes included . Also make sure you’ve got the trip that goes to Khasab not Dibba as I think some of those billed as boat trips do not land on Omani soil . They just travel up the coast .

This tour was definitely the highlight of my solo trip to Dubai. It is well-organized, filled with amazing sites, and worth every penny. My driver, Nandu was incredible. He is a very kind person who felt like a friend by the end of the trip. I was the only one for the pickup from Dubai to Oman, so we talked most of the time there and back. He also handled all the border crossings smoothly. As for the actual boat tour - just amazing. I was truly blown away by the scenery there in Khasab. Just incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. Ismail was the crew and he was just awesome. So friendly and helpful and always ready to get you whatever you needed. I want to also say that as an American, don’t be intimidated by going to Oman. The US and Oman actually have a good relationship and there is nothing to be afraid of in going. Don’t miss out! Book it. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful experience to Khasab from Dubai. Everything was handled smoothly and timely, from the pickup to the border/immigration crossing to boarding the boat and then back to Dubai. The cruise experience included a nice lunch, drinks/refreshments and allowed for enough time to kayak, swim and fish among the breathtaking backdrop. I would highly recommend if you’re looking a convenient, unique and price-effective package from Dubai - an absolutely memorable experience that is one of a kind.

Wonderful day trip across the border to Oman seeing fjords and sailing on a dhow with dolphins swimming along. Lots of swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Fun and fabulous day trip from Dubai to a very different scenery.
