Tour Experience & Highlights

Welcome aboard our traditional wooden dhow in Khasab! We are local Omani captains and sailors who grew up on these fjord waters. On this full-day trip, we take you deep into Khor Sham—often called the Norway of Arabia—past remote fishing hamlets like Nadifi, Qanaha, and Maqlab where families still live along the water. Wild humpback and bottlenose dolphins live here year-round, and our captains know exactly where they like to swim alongside the boat. We drop anchor twice at historical Telegraph Island (where the British laid the submarine cable in 1864) and Seebi Island for swimming and snorkeling among Arabian reef fish. At lunchtime, our crew serves a fresh, hot buffet with grilled fish, chicken, fragrant rice, salads, fresh fruits, and plenty of cold drinks, Omani tea, and kahwa.
