Dibba Dhow Cruise In Fujairah With Lunch And Activities

Our Dibba dhow cruise costs AED 190 per adult and AED 160 per kid with transport from Dubai, Sharjah and RAK, or AED 140 and AED 110 if you drive to Dibba yourself. Infants under 4 go free on both.

Fujairah Side Or Musandam Side?

Many Dibba cruises sold online actually cross into Oman, so it helps to know which one you’re booking. This cruise starts and stays on the Fujairah side of Dibba, in UAE waters. There’s no border, no UAE exit fee and no Oman visa, so you only need your Emirates ID or passport. That makes it a good choice for single entry visa holders, and for anyone who’d rather not deal with a border on a day out.

The Musandam tour from Dubai crosses into Oman at the Dibba border and sails to Haffa Beach in Musandam, with steeper mountains and the Oman coastline. It costs the same AED 190 with transport, but you need a passport, and some nationalities pay for the Oman visa. If you’d rather drive yourself to the Oman side, see the Musandam Dibba tour.

What To Bring On The Dibba Dhow Cruise

• Original Emirates ID or passport
• Swimwear under your clothes
• Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat
• A change of clothes
• A small bag for your valuables
• Cash for the balance on the day
