Amazing sailing cruise! - My husband and I got gifted this as a wedding present while we were on our honeymoon and it was the perfect way to end our trip. The cruise was really relaxing and we watched a beautiful sunset. The staff was friendly and set up a great dinner with fairy lights and a delicious meal. Thank you!!

The gentle sway of the dhow and the sound of the ocean create a romantic atmosphere, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the moment.
