Musandam Dibba is a little gem in the Sultanate of Oman’s Persian Gulf. The trip includes a magnificent road trip, a day-long Dhow cruise, sumptuous lunch on board, sport fishing, snorkeling, banana boat rides, and dolphin sitting. A trendy tourist destination for tourists flocking to Dubai, a special permit is required to go to Oman Dibba and come back. We provide complete assistance for getting the permit and making this trip memorable.
The trip begins early in the morning when our luxury bus picks you up. You will be informed of the pick-up point and the exact pick-up time. While the sun rays are just warming up, your bus will be racing to Ras Al Khaimah, and the 6-lane expressway will give way to a narrower road with wilderness on either side. The change in the landscape would get your attention to the mountains of Hajr.
A word about the Friday Market that is an exceptional Bazar while approaching Ras al Khaimah. The Friday market is famous for beautiful carpets, local artisans’ created potteries, and organically grown fruits and vegetables. We will stop there so you can roam around, have tea/ coffee, and even buy some stuff for keepsakes.
The mountain of Hajr is a range of calcified rocks with many uniquely shaped caves. The road-hugging this mountain ranges negotiates many hairpins bends to keep you gripping your seat. Very soon, the Persian sea appears on the other side. The blue waters of the Gulf run along on one side, and the imposing Hajr mountain range on the other side creates a mesmerizing view. Our tour guide-cum- bus driver shall stop buses at vantage points so you can take plenty of selfies.
Your road trip ends when you reach the Dibba coast, where a beautiful and well-decorated Dhow awaits you. The Dhow is enormous and has two decks. There are plenty of pillows and rugs for you to chill with a tasty beverage of your choice. The welcome drink lifts your spirits, and you are ready to experience all the activities, including banana boat rides, snorkeling, and handline fishing. Worry not, as all the gear will be available onboard, and there will be guides to help you keep safe. The lunch on board will be a buffet with Arabic, continental, and Asian spread. The multi-course buffet will include a wide variety of fruits grown locally. The beverages shall be available throughout the trip. The cruise shall have a special stop on a beach where you can get down and soak in the sun.
The best part of the cruise is the dolphin safari. Dolphins are considered the most intelligent mammals after humans. These dolphins love to swim along with the Dhow and show off. You will never find so many dolphins too close to you in the Gulf. Many tourists come to Dibba, Oman, only to experience the dolphins.
After a fantastic date with the sea beach, dolphins, and other colorful fish, you will be dropped at the waiting bus. Your bus returns to your destination and leaves you with unforgettable memories of the day.
