Have you heard of Oman yet? You may have seen it featured in Conde Nast over the last year. Here are few Awesome Things to do in Musandam tour Oman.
Places to Visit in Oman
Known for its slow pace of life, traditional souks, friendly locals and aqua marine waters, Oman has a number of cities and points of interest worth visiting. The capital of Muscat, the enclave of Musandam, the Al Hajar Mountain Range, Nizwa, Jebel Shams mountain and port city of Salalah are just a few. One of my favourite places is the enclave of Musandam. We’ve been living in Dubai for the last 9 years and return to Musandam at least a few times a year.
Just a two to three-hour drive from Dubai, Musandam offers year-round warm weather, pristine beaches and mountainous backdrops for those looking to escape big city life. The main areas to visit in Musandam are Khasab and Dibba. Here is a list of things to do in Musandam, Oman.
The Fjords on a Traditional Dhow Boat
Not as tall as the fjords in Norway, Oman’s fjords are just as spectacular though. You’ll witness incredible sheers of cliff thrashing into crisp, blue waters on a large wooden dhow boat fitted with comfortable Arabian style cushions and carpets. There are several operators and options to choose from. They leave the Khasab Harbour for half day, full day and overnight packages with yummy spreads of authentic local cuisine for a very reasonable price. Your trip will usually include time to snorkel in the clear waters. It’s even possible to fit this in as a day trip from Dubai, transportation is provided from your hotel. But I recommend staying at least a few days, as there’s so much to do. This tops the list at Awesome Things to Do in Musandam, Oman.
Premium Rustar Dhow Cruise Dubai
Make an evening in Dubai extra special with a 2-hour dhow cruise creek on the world's largest ‘dhow’— a traditional Arabian boat. Step aboard the beautifully illuminated Rustar floating restaurant, and admire Deira’s sparkling landmarks over a sumptuous dinner buffet. Settle on the outer deck or in the elegant cabins, and savor international and Emirati dishes prepared by the 5-star Movenpick hotel as you pass the floodlit Rolex Towers, souks and other landmarks. As you dine, enjoy an array of entertainment, including traditional Emirati dance shows and live music.
