As the dhow leaves Khasab, the scenery quickly changes from the town and harbor to the spectacular mountain walls and quiet waters of the Musandam Peninsula.
H3: Cruise Through the Musandam Fjords
Sailing through the dramatic Musandam Fjords
Sail deeper into the fjords and enjoy panoramic views of dramatic rocky cliffs, secluded bays and traditional coastal villages.
This is one of the most relaxing parts of the experience. Instead of simply travelling between attractions, you have time to enjoy the landscape from the water and photograph the unique meeting point between the mountains and the sea.
Keep your eyes on the water and Enjoy your Musandam tours with dolphin watching.
H3: Dolphin Watching
Dolphin watching in the Musandam Fjords
One of the most memorable moments of a Khasab Musandam dhow cruise is watching dolphins in their natural marine environment.
When dolphins are spotted, the crew may slow the dhow so passengers can observe and photograph them from a respectful distance.
Because these are wild animals, sightings are naturally dependent on sea and wildlife conditions.
H3: Telegraph Island – Swimming & Snorkeling
Swimming and snorkeling near Telegraph Island
Continue toward the historic Telegraph Island, one of Musandam’s best-known landmarks.
The dhow anchors near the island, giving you time to enjoy the clear water with swimming and snorkeling opportunities.
Use the provided snorkeling equipment to explore the shallow waters and look for colorful fish and marine life.
Life jackets are available onboard for added safety and comfort.
H3: Lunch Onboard
Enjoying lunch onboard the dhow
After your first water activity, relax back on the dhow and enjoy lunch onboard 🍽️.
Take in the surrounding fjord scenery while enjoying your meal and refreshments without leaving the boat.
H3: Seebi Island & Second Water Stop
Exploring the Seebi Island area
The cruise continues toward Seebi Island, another scenic location associated with full-day Musandam dhow cruises.
When sea conditions and the day’s operating route allow, you can enjoy another opportunity for swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters around the island.
This additional stop is one of the advantages of choosing a full-day Khasab dhow cruise rather than a shorter cruise.
H3: Afternoon – Scenic Return to Khasab
After the final stop, relax on deck during the return journey and enjoy the breathtaking scenery featured in our Best Musandam Tours in 2026.
Enjoy the changing light over the Musandam mountains, take final photographs, and make the most of your remaining time on the traditional dhow.
