The Difference
2 Days In Musandam, Fjords And Mountains
Most visits to Musandam pick one landscape and stop there, either the water or the mountains. This trip covers three, a day cruise through the fjords, a night of beach camping, and a mountain safari the next morning, finished with lunch at Al Shamalia Grill and Restaurant.
Day one runs entirely on the water, cruising through Khor Sham, stopping at Telegraph Island, and settling into camp at Saif Al Ghareeb for the night. Day two leaves the coast behind, climbing past Khor Najd and Bait Al Qufl on the way to the 2,087 meter summit of Jebel Al Harim, before the reserved table waiting at Al Shamalia.
Two days, three experiences, one trip through Musandam, Oman.
Hour By Hour
Musandam Trip 2 Days One Night Itinerary

Your dhow and crew are ready at the dock. Board when you arrive, get settled on deck and the crew serves Arabic coffee, tea and fresh fruits while the boat prepares to leave.
10:00 AM — Departure from Khasab port
The dhow leaves Khasab port and heads into the fjords, with Musandam's cliffs rising on both sides of the boat almost immediately.
10:15 AM — Entering Into Fjords
Known as the Norway of Arabia for its scale, Khor Sham is the longest fjord in Musandam, and the boat spends the morning moving through it.
10:45 AM — Dolphin Watching
Spinner and humpback dolphins are commonly seen near the fjord entrance, often moving alongside the boat for several minutes at a time.
12:30 PM — Telegraph Island
A stop for snorkeling around the ruins of a nineteenth century British telegraph relay station, now surrounded by clear water and reef fish.
01:00 PM — Lunch served aboard
As the dhow leaves Telegraph Island lunch comes out. Fried chicken, lentil curry, mixed vegetable curry, rice, hummus, Arabic bread (khubz), green salad and unlimited soft drinks and water. The boat moves toward Seebi Island while you eat.
02:00 PM — Seebi Island
A quieter stop further along the route, giving a different angle on the surrounding cliffs before the boat turns toward camp.
04:00 PM — transfer To Beach
A short speed boat ride brings the group to the beach camp, where tents, bedding and seating are already set up on arrival.

As the light fades, the crew lights the campfire and sets up music around the Majlis seating. Enough wood is arranged for the campfire.
07:00 PM — BBQ dinner at sunset
BBQ dinner is served on the beach including chicken kebab, grilled fish, rice, fried chicken, beef kebab, and fresh salad. After the dinner guests gather around the campfire and enjoy music.
07:00 AM — Breakfast at sunrise
Breakfast is served on the beach as the sun comes up over the water, with the mountains still catching the early light behind the camp. It includes boiled eggs, jam, Nutella, bread, bottled juices, coffee and tea.

A speed boat brings the group back from Saif Al Ghareeb to Khasab port to begin the second day where mountain safari vehicle is already waiting to leave.

An old stone lock house built into the mountainside centuries ago to control movement through the mountain passes. The guide walks you through the site.
10:45 AM — Wadi As Sayh
The route drops into Wadi As Sayh, a Bedouin village sitting on a plateau at 1,100 meters above sea level. The village is still inhabited. Goats move freely between the stone houses. The setting is unlike anything on the coast.

What Our Guests Say
Booked an all inclusive Dubai to Musandam day trip, would highly recommend. Great communication from start to finish, picked us up from where we were staying. Assistance provided with border crossing. Dhow boat trip was amazing, seen lots of dolphins, had a wonderful lunch and snorkeled in beautiful turquoise waters. All at a very reasonably priced.

My friend and I chose to do a day trip from Dubai and this was perfect! we had an amazing experience with the driver and hosts they settled and handled everything for us, including direct hotel pick up and border crossing. We saw dolphins multiple times and got to snorkel at two beautiful Islands. This company is really 10/10 on everything from booking to the tour itself.

We had such a great time today on the Musandam trip. Rehan organised everything perfectly. Our taxi driver, Zakeen, was excellent and drove us safely and comfortably. On the boat, Captain Mohar and Kumar were incredible – they took amazing care of us from start to finish. From the fishing to the food, every detail was handled with so much attention and kindness.
