Discover the spectacular landscapes of the Gulf of Oman in a unique way on this traditional dhow boat cruise to Khor Sham from Ras al Khaimah. Plus, you'll get to snorkel and enjoy lunch on board!
Khor Sham Dhow Boat Cruise
Between 7 am and 8 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Ras al Khaimah. From there, we'll cross the border into Oman and take you to the coast of Khasab, where the dhow will be waiting to take us on a cruise of the Gulf of Oman.
Do you know what a dhow is? This typical Arabian sailing boat has a unique triangular sail, allowing it to sail without the need to paddle, regardless of the wind direction.
On board this traditional dhow boat, we'll sail on the warm waters of Ras al Khaimah towards the Khor Sham Fjord. This beautiful place is surrounded by towering mountains and small white sandy coves. What's more, if we're lucky, we might even see dolphins jumping and playing alongside the dhow!
Hungry? At midday we'll serve up a delicious buffet lunch on board the boat - the best way to refuel! But that's not all, after visiting the fjord, we'll anchor the boat at Telegraph and Seebi Islands so you can snorkel in the Gulf of Oman and enjoy the great marine biodiversity of the area.
At the end of our dhow cruise to Khor Sham, we'll sail back to the harbour and take you back to your hotel in Ras al Khaimah. Arrival is scheduled between 1 pm and 2 pm.
