You’ll explore the Musandam Fjords from Khasab aboard a traditional Omani dhow, combining authentic local charm with comfort and privacy.

Unlike standard sightseeing tours, this cruise focuses on natural dolphin encounters, a dedicated snorkeling and swimming stop at Telegraph Island, and personalized onboard service.
