Tour Experience & Highlights

Spending the night anchored in the deep silence of Khor Sham fjord is one of the most peaceful experiences on the Arabian peninsula. Far away from city lights, the sky turns into a roof of countless stars. We drop anchor in a sheltered fjord cove in the late afternoon. Our crew cooks a fresh barbecue dinner on the boat (grilled fish, chicken, salads), sets up handlines for night fishing, and shows you glowing green bioluminescent plankton that lights up when you stir the sea. At bedtime, sleep comfortably on the open upper deck with fresh mattresses, clean sheets, pillows, and warm blankets. Wake up to sunrise over the cliffs, hot breakfast, and a second day of dolphin watching and snorkeling.
