Khasab Musandam boat cruise surreal experience! Nature at its best! - Amazing experience in Oman with Dhow Khasab Tours! We found this tour company online and contacted them via WhatsApp. They were professional and quick to respond with a great price. We were picked up by Zahed from Dubai in comfortable car (4 of us), taken across the border to Khasab for our Dhow tour in Fjords. Jayesh and Shashi were our hosts on the boat for the day cruise. Dhow was very comfortable. We had lunch, soft drinks and fresh fruits. We did the swimming, snorkelling and fresh towels were provided. Arabic tea and coffee kept us going. Beautiful and surreal experience amongst the unspoilt nature. Dolphins know these guys on the boat and immediately came when they whistled to call them. We had boat race with the dolphins and they were very playful. Plenty of coloured fish 🐠 were also seen in the clear waters. We were dropped back in the evening. Definitely will go back with this tour company for overnight cruise!

Incredible day out - We booked the day trip (1000-1700) based on a recommendation from a friend. We drove to the harbour and were surprised how many dhow operators there were. Arrive early if you can and call your operator if needed. The dhow had two decks, lots of seats/cushions and a good toilet. There is plenty of shade against the sun. There were two snorkelling areas and an opportunity to climb 440 steps up to a viewpoint where you can see two seas. Lunch was very good with an endless supply of drinks throughout the day. We saw a lot of dolphins - at one point there were around 6 either side of the dhow swimming along with us. The crew were outstanding and made the trip extra special. Their knowledge was fantastic. If you have the time, we would recommend this as the priority activity.

Magic Cruise in Musandam Khors! - Magic 3 nights & days onboard a beautiful dhow with Kharib & Raju, both so professional and so gentle. Musandam fjords are truly amazing. Sailing with dolphins, diving in nice spots, visiting Kumzar, hiking to the top of the Jebel Sham will remain a great experience and a fantastic souvenir. Well done Dhow Khasab Tours and deep thanks again Kharib & Raju!

Excellent day and highly recommended - We had a fantastic day and the crew were very helpful and hospitable. The guide was very informative and interesting. We saw dolphins and went snorkelling twice. The food and drinks were very good and we would definitely go again. The only issue we had was that the driver who returned us to our hotel drove way too fast and well above the speed limit. It was quite frightening and there was no need.

HIGHLY recommended - 10/10 experience!!! - We booked a day and overnight dhow cruise for a mixed bunch of 10. I cannot recommend this company enough, they were very attentive and detailed with WhatsApp communication prior to our trip, arranging for transport to collect us from the Dubai border (an AED 800 additional charge) - and take us through to Oman, and to the dhow. The dhow itself was wonderful, clean, comfortable and spacious. We were greeted with a fresh fruit platter and an ice box full of water and soft drinks. Lunch was delicious, and plenty for all ten people - we saw many dolphins and enjoyed swimming in the various stop off points in crystal clear waters. We had two members of staff with us the entire 24- hour trip, the captain and his helper were amazing, so friendly and very attentive to our needs. At night the seas were full of illuminous plankton - the most incredible experience to see!! We loved sleeping on the top-deck and waking up to the most beautiful pink sky was magical. Overall, this trip is HIGHLY recommended, and I would like to thank Dhow Khasab Tours for their 10/10 service.
