Muscat Coast, Natural Cove, and Al Bustan Palace Hotel by Twilight Dhow Cruise

Overview

Muscat Coast, Natural Cove, and Al Bustan Palace Hotel by Twilight Dhow Cruise

As the light softens over the Muscat coastline, a traditional dhow slips away from the marina and follows the curve of the shore. 

This Twilight Dhow Cruise is a relaxed 3-hour group experience designed for calm sightseeing, gentle movement on the water, and clear views of the coast. 

Comfortable transfers, a classic wooden boat, and a simple route make the evening easy and unhurried.

Twilight Dhow Cruise Itinerary

The Trip

Muscat Marina

 

Your Twilight Dhow Cruise begins with hotel pick-up and transfer to the marina, where you board a traditional dhow for a gentle sail. The route follows the shoreline, offering a classic Oman dhow cruise perspective shaped by sea and stone.

Coastal Route

 

As the boat moves west, the experience feels like a quiet Muscat boat cruise, with open water ahead and low hills framing the coast. The slow pace keeps the focus on the scenery rather than movement.

Natural Cove

 

The dhow pauses briefly at a sheltered inlet, allowing time to enjoy the stillness of a natural cove during an Ocean sightseeing tour. This stop adds a calm break along the water without leaving the boat.

Al Bustan Palace Hotel

 

The final stretch passes the seafront of Al Bustan Palace Hotel, a highlight often associated with a Muscat sunset cruise and wider Arabian Gulf cruise routes. 

This Oman evening tour focuses on scenery rather than dining, unlike a Dinner dhow cruise, no meal is served, keeping the cruise light and unstructured. The boat then returns to the marina for transfer back to your hotel.
