Khor Sham Dhow Boat Cruise

Discover the spectacular landscapes of the Gulf of Oman on a traditional dhow boat cruise to Khor Sham from Ras al Khaimah. Enjoy snorkeling and lunch on board.

Khor Sham Dhow Boat Cruise

Between 7 am and 8 am, hotel pickups in Ras al Khaimah will commence. Participants will cross the border into Oman to reach the coast of Khasab, where the dhow awaits for a cruise of the Gulf of Oman.

A dhow is a typical Arabian sailing boat featuring a unique triangular sail, allowing sailing without paddling, independent of wind direction.

Onboard, we will sail towards the Khor Sham Fjord, surrounded by mountains and sandy coves. Wildlife sightings may include dolphins swimming alongside the dhow.

A buffet lunch will be served around midday while on the boat. After visiting the fjord, we'll anchor at Telegraph and Seebi Islands, providing time for participants to snorkel in the Gulf of Oman and explore the area's marine biodiversity.

Upon completion of the dhow cruise to Khor Sham, we will return to the harbor and provide transport back to hotels in Ras al Khaimah, with arrival expected between 1 pm and 2 pm.
