Full description
Your full-day excursion to Dibba begins with a pick-up at your hotel and continues with a drive along the new highway as you take in the imposing Hajar Mountain, beautiful golden sands, and Dibba Bay, on the way to the fishing harbor.
At 10:00, depending on the traffic at the border, you’ll head out on a cruise on board a traditional Arabian dhow, enjoying Arabic tea and coffee as welcome drinks. The double-decker dhow features traditional Omani interiors including rugs and pillows for your comfort.
Enjoy your time lazing and sunbathing and admiring the beauty of the salty white mountains. You’ll pass by naturally carved caves, Haffa beaches, and Ziggy Bay.
Stop to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean before enjoying a lunch with the real taste of Arabia. Refreshments include soft drinks, mineral water, and fruits, available throughout the cruise.
After lunch you’ll have more time for swimming, snorkeling, or relaxing and admiring the amazing landscapes. There’s a possibility that you’ll see dolphins during the cruise!
