Beautiful coastline experience

5.00The pick up was smooth and the tour itself was lovely and well organized. Your expectation should be a relaxed boat ride with beautiful sights of the stunning coastline and occasional interaction with the boat captain and staff. There were self-serve soft drinks and water readily available on the boat. Some dates and peanuts were served as well as arabic coffee. The tour company paired with a different tour company that actually operated this tour.

Peaceful and relaxing ride out to sea

4.00It's a beautiful and peaceful ride along the coast of Muscat. Small snacks and drinks are provided. The guides are a bit sparse with information on what we are passing or seeing, but are also not interrupting every minute with meaningless drivel. And the sunset is impressive.
A tour with heart (Oman is great )

Beautiful Sunset and Good Coordination

4.00The coordination was good, the pier has a couple coffee shops to get refreshments before the tour. The dhow was busy with a few different groups. The sunset was lovely and we saw a few spots from the water. Dates and drinks were offered and Captain pointed out the main spots. Otherwise it was a little boring.. maybe some form of entertainment could enhance the experience.
Enjoyable option for a sunset Dhow cruise in Muscat

5.00The entire Ahlan Arabia Travel and Tourism team that organized our cruise was extremely efficient, courteous, welcoming, and well organized. We had a lovely time on the Omani Traditional Dhow Cruise -- Sunset and Muscat Coastal View trip. There were ample snacks and soft drinks on board, and we were able to all get good seats with pleasant views. The way the captain sailed the boat helped ensure that it was a relaxed and easy-going experience all around, without speeding or without the boat rocking, so nobody felt seasick. We were also pleased that despite our pick-up vehicle getting extremely delayed in traffic, and thus our arriving late at the pier (due to absolutely no fault of our own -- just a result of terrible Muscat traffic, which seems to plague the city at all hours), the tour company ensured that the boat would wait for us. The inclusion of the pick up and drop off in the ticket price made this good value-for-money.
Great boat trip with wonderful scenery
