What You See On The Khasab Dhow Cruise

Khor Sham Fjord

Khor Sham runs 16 to 17 km inland between the Hajar Mountains, and its deep, calm water is why people call Musandam the Norway of Arabia. The villages of Nadifi, Qanah, Maqlab and Sham have no road access, so supplies and school children still arrive by boat.

Dolphins In The Fjord

Bottlenose and humpback dolphins feed in Khor Sham all year. They often ride the bow wave, so the front of the dhow is the spot for photos.

Telegraph Island

Telegraph Island, known locally as Jazirat Al Maqlab, sits deep inside Khor Sham. The British built a telegraph repeater station here in 1864 on the cable line linking India and Britain, and you can still see the ruins from the deck. The dhow anchors nearby for swimming and snorkeling.

Seebi Island

Seebi Island sits at the far end of the fjord. It’s the quieter of the two swim stops, with reef fish around its rocky edges.

Is The Khasab Tour Good For Families?

Yes, it works for all ages. Children from 4 to 10 years pay AED 465, and infants under 4 pay AED 235 because they take their own seat in the vehicle. Child car seats are available on request. Life jackets are available on board, and swimming is optional, so younger children can stay on the shaded deck. There is a toilet and shower on board, and all food is halal. Tell us your children’s ages when you book so the crew can prepare accordingly.

Our dhows hold 15, 30 or 60 guests, but we usually board around 10 to 30 people, so there is plenty of space on deck. Numbers can be higher on public holidays, but we always stay below full capacity.
