Khasab Musandam dhow cruise is, without a doubt, one of the best experiences where you can cruise the Arabian city while taking in the beauty of the fjords that Musandam is famous for.
A fjord is a long and narrow body of water that is U-shaped and surrounded by steep walls of rocky mountains. In fact, Khasab, Musandam is regarded as the Norway of the Middle East because of these marvelous bodies of water.
Apart from fjords, the place is also famous for those who love the idea of beach camping and mountain safari. With different activities available at your disposal, you can enjoy a full-day dhow cruise in Musandam.
A Great Experience For The Whole Family
A dhow cruise is something that all members of the family can enjoy. Regardless of age and interests, you’ll be able to share an unforgettable experience with your loved ones. It’s an excellent way to get a panoramic view of the Musandam peninsula and appreciate each mountain and rock formation as you smoothly cruise the tranquil fjords.
Be In Touch With Nature
Snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing are some of the popular activities for visitors on a dhow cruise. You get to experience and see colorful sea creatures and be up close with them as you go snorkeling. You will also be able to see different coral reefs, shoals of colorful fish, and spot dolphins swimming along with the dhow.
Get To Know The History
During a full-day of cruising, you will get to visit the historic Telegraph and Seebi islands, which used to be a telegraphic post used by the British army to send and receive messages to and from India and Britain. The island is roughly the size of a football field. Today, what remains are the remnants of the building that used to house British soldiers who manned the post.
Enjoy Swimming In Blue Waters
The dhow will anchor at popular swimming sites so make sure you bring your bathing suit as they are not part of the tour package. However, snorkeling gear and life jackets are available for tourists to use.
Delicious Food
A traditional Omani feast is served to give you the energy you need to enjoy your dhow cruise. Apart from this, upon onboarding the dhow, guests are served with unlimited soft drinks, plain water, coffee, and tea. Fresh fruits such as apples, bananas, and oranges are available onboard the dhow as well.
These are just a few of the reasons why a full-day dhow cruise should be on your list this summer.

Whether it is a full-day dhow cruise or an overnight stay, your experience will always be one for the books.
