VERDICT: WE GAVE 5 OUT OF 5 TICKETS AND HERE’S WHY!
24hrs in Oman. Travelling from Dubai
We decided to take advantage of a Dhow cruise in Oman. The Musandam Dhow trip was advertised as a 5-7 hour excursion cruising along the easterly coast of Oman. The drive from Dubai to Dibba Al Bayah Fishing Port took about 2.5 hours and following a brief stop at the border (Canadians require no visa – just to show original passport) we hopped aboard a Dhow and set sail. We sailed along the coast and marvelled at the high-end resorts, reserved for the extremely wealthy. Eventually we set anchor and food was offered. We were also invited to participate in various watersports including snorkelling.
My husband jumped at the opportunity and him and three Australians set off in a small motor boat to the distant headland. There they jumped off the boat, with snorkels and spent the next hour or so bobbing in the Indian Ocean. Eventually, a boat was sent to retrieve them and before long they were all back onboard the Dhow. We then were ferried to a nearby beach for a couple of hours. The water was warm, sun was out and was just perfect. It was an incredible day and well worth the money.
