Musandam is an ideal place for those who are looking for a breath of fresh air and a great day to refresh themselves in the waters of Indian Ocean. Our Full Day Dhow Cruise will take you to enjoy beautiful sights, swimming, snorkeling, fast boat and banana boat rides, and fishing. The Musandam Cave visit and the whole day on the water will give you an unforgettable experience of sea adventure and fantastic memories. Our friendly multilingual tour guides and boat crews will do their utmost to make sure you have had a truly great day!
Wake up excited to explore this lovely city. While you’re here, Musandam is a hilly Omani peninsula that projects into the Strait of Hormuz and is isolated from the rest of the nation by the UAE. What better way to experience Musandam than from a private boat, cruise by the lovely, clear water and coral reefs that are great for swimming, snorkelling, and diving? The Hajar Mountains, the Arabian Peninsula’s tallest mountain range, are stretched throughout the Musandam area, occupying sections east of the UAE and the northeast of Oman. A trip to Musandam would be incomplete without a dhow voyage around the Lima Rock, which is famous for its diverse population of fish, rays, and other sea animals, as well as the numerous caverns and fissures to explore.
