Full description

A full day in the Musandam peninsula, the Omani enclave often called the Norway of Arabia, where the Hajar mountains fall straight into the sea and carve deep inlets known as khors. Transfers run from fixed points in Deira and Bur Dubai, with border assistance provided - bring your passport. From Khasab, a traditionally decorated Omani wooden dhow sails out into Khor Sham, past sheer rock walls and remote white-sand beaches, and stops at Telegraph Island, where a British telegraph relay station stood in the 1860s. Dolphins commonly escort the boat, and the dhow anchors for swimming and snorkelling in exceptionally clear water; snorkelling equipment, life jackets and towels are provided. An Omani lunch is served on deck with fruit, limited soft drinks and unlimited water. It is a long day with substantial driving at each end, so it suits travellers who want the landscape rather than a quick outing. Bring swimwear, sunscreen and a hat.

Itinerary

Drive to Khasab through the Hajar mountains. The day starts with a long, scenic transfer north into Oman's Musandam governorate, crossing the border at Tibat and running along the coast road beneath the Hajar mountains to the port town of Khasab. Passports are required.

Dhow cruise through the fjords and Telegraph Island. A traditional dhow sails out through the khors - steep-sided inlets carved into bare rock - passing Telegraph Island, where a British telegraph relay station stood in the 1860s. Pods of dolphins commonly escort the boat.

Snorkelling stop and buffet lunch on board. The dhow anchors off a quiet beach for swimming and snorkelling with equipment provided. A buffet lunch, soft drinks, tea and fresh fruit are served on the shaded deck before the sail back to Khasab and the road transfer to Dubai.

Important information

Meeting point

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Don’t forget

This tour crosses into Oman, so a valid original passport is compulsory - not a copy, and not an Emirates ID. Border assistance is provided, but entry is at the discretion of the Omani authorities and some nationalities require a visa arranged in advance, so check your own requirements before booking. Allow for border formalities in each direction; the total day is around 12 hours door to door. Transfers are shared and depart from two fixed points, not from your hotel: City Centre Deira metro station in Deira, and Sharaf DG metro station in Bur Dubai - Sharaf DG is the Green Line station that was called Al Fahidi until 2020, so look for Sharaf DG on the metro map. Confirm which point and what time you are booked for, and arrive early: the coach cannot wait. Bring swimwear, a towel, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses; snorkelling equipment, life jackets and towels are provided on board. Take something for seasickness if you are prone to it. Do not book a flight for the same evening. Note that travel insurance for the Oman leg is your own responsibility.
