Leave behind the glitzy Dubai city for a retreat in nature’s lap in Musandam Dibba. Often called the ‘Norway of the Middle East’, this stunning spot in Oman invites you to step away from urban life and immerse yourself in the dramatic beauty of the towering Hajar Mountains' rugged cliffs and the sparkling emerald waters of the Gulf of Oman. This full-day tour from Dubai includes a comfortable transfer, a traditional dhow cruise, and lunch, making it perfect for travelers seeking a refreshing nature escape.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A Scenic Drive through the Hajjar Mountains
Gear up for a scenic road trip from Dubai to Dibba, winding through some of the UAE's most picturesque emirates. En route, you will pass by the scenic sights of Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, and Ras Al Khaimah. The road then winds into the majestic Hajar Mountains as you cross the border into Oman. Watch how the scenery changes from rugged terrain to the brilliant, emerald waters as you approach Musandam Dibba.
An Enchanting Cruise aboard a Traditional Omani Dhow
After you have taken in the views from the shorelines, it is time to glide on the clear waters of the Gulf of Oman for a unique perspective. Set sail on a traditional dhow featuring Bedouin-style décor, as it gently floats while passing by fjord-like scenery. Enjoy a thrilling banana boat ride to switch gears from a gentle sail to a high-speed water adventure.
Recharge with a Lunch Break Amid Tranquil Nature
Tuck into a lavish continental buffet lunch onboard, prepared with care. Add more fun and excitement as you dive into the emerald green waters to snorkel, or simply swim in the tranquil waters surrounded by grand mountain cliffs. After a day filled with sailing, splashing in the water, and capturing memories of breathtaking fjord scenery, return to Dubai with beautiful glimpses of Oman etched into your memory.
For a different yet equally captivating experience, you can also enjoy the charm of a Dhow Cruise Creek or admire the glittering skyline on a Dhow Cruise Marina. Both cruises promise scenic views, delightful dining, and unforgettable moments on Dubai’s waters.
