Must-do Fantastic trip. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, which had arranged the trip for us, cost was 15 Rials per person for a half-day cruise on a traditional dhow. We had to pass through a number of other shows to get to our one but this was easy, even for a scaredy-cat like me. Show was very clean (including the western-style toilet) with thick carpets and lots of cushions. The crew, Sohail and Raju (apologies if spelled incorrectly), were friendly and so helpful. Lots of soft drinks and fruit provided. The cruise itself was so beautiful and we saw lots of dolphins (Sohail speaks fluent dolphin) plus beautiful fish near Telegraph Island. No one wanted to swim (only 6 of us on board) but am sure we could have done. All in all, a thoroughly good trip.

HIGHLY recommended - 10/10 experience!!! We booked a day and overnight dhow cruise for a mixed bunch of 10. I cannot recommend this company enough, they were very attentive and detailed with WhatsApp communication prior to our trip, arranging for transport to collect us from the Dubai border (an AED 800 additional charge) - and take us through to Oman, and to the dhow. The dhow itself was wonderful, clean, comfortable and spacious. We were greeted with a fresh fruit platter and an ice box full of water and soft drinks. Lunch was delicious, and plenty for all ten people - we saw many dolphins and enjoyed swimming in the various stop off points in crystal clear waters. We had two members of staff with us the entire 24- hour trip, the captain and his helper were amazing, so friendly and very attentive to our needs. At night the seas were full of illuminous plankton - the most incredible experience to see!! We loved sleeping on the top-deck and waking up to the most beautiful pink sky was magical. Overall, this trip is HIGHLY recommended, and I would like to thank Dhow Khasab Tours for their 10/10 service.

Not to be missed It was an excellent private cruise accompanied by Khalid (very professional French-speaking guide) and a very friendly captain and sailor. To do without hesitation!

Our Trip with night camping Best service with quality food and different activities. Everything was super . Full day inside boat was enjoyable only feeling little hot due to sunlight. Dolphin area was very beautiful. We enjoyed Dolphin area and swimming in sea. In camping there was clean and all facilities are available.
