Overview

Khasab and Musandam Coastline Escape: Khasab Day Trip by Dhow Cruise

The road slips past the coast at dawn, then the water opens wide. This Khasab day trip is built for travelers who want a clean change of scenery without packing a bag, sea air, quiet coves, and a steady rhythm on deck. 

You leave Dubai early, cross into Oman with assistance, and spend the heart of the day on a traditional dhow, simple, organized, and unhurried.

hour 01

Dubai to Coastal Drive then Dhow Cruise

 

Departure is early morning, with pickup around 06:00 AM. You travel north through Ras Al Khaimah toward the Musandam Peninsula, following a panoramic coastal road. Border formalities are handled with meet-and-assist so the transition stays smooth. 

This route sets the tone for a calm Dubai Khasab tour, focused on scenery rather than speed.

Dhow Cruise in Musandam Waters

 

By late morning, you board a traditional dhow for a relaxed sail through sheltered bays. The cruise path follows the dramatic inlets of Khor Ash Sham, where cliffs meet clear water and the pace naturally slows. 

This stretch is the core of the Musandam dhow cruise, with time for swimming and snorkeling when conditions allow.

Meals included: Lunch (continental buffet lunch), tea, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water.

Telegraph Island Stop

 

Midday, the dhow anchors near Telegraph Island visit, a historic point used in 1864 for underwater cable communications linking India to Basra and onward to London. 

You can swim near the island or rest on deck as light shifts across the water, a quiet pause rather than a rushed stop.

Meals included: Lunch (continental buffet lunch), tea, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water.



Open Sea Views & Return

 

The afternoon sail opens toward wider channels near the Straits Hormuz cruise, an area known for its marine life and deep-blue passages. This section is often where a Musandam snorkeling tour fits naturally into the flow. 

By late afternoon, you disembark and return to Dubai, completing an easy Oman day tour designed as a true UAE nature escape without an overnight stay.

Meals included: Tea, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water.
