From Dubai To Norway Of Arabia | Khasab | Telegraph Island | Oman

10000000000/10 BEST TOUR EVER!!! WOW I can say with full confidence that Musandam has to be on everyone's Dubai itinerary!!!!!! My best friend and I booked the tour through Agoda and I must say that this is easily one of the best tours I have ever joined. We forgot to check our emails and provide our passports prior to the tour, but the operator went out of their way to keep trying to track us down so we wouldn't miss out the activity. We really appreciate the dedication and extra effort! On top of that, when we ran into a bit of trouble going through the border between UAE and Oman, our guide Vishnu was wonderfully patient and helped us sort everything out. Plus, the visa fee and everything else is included so no need to pay for anything! Everything is exactly the same as what the itinerary advertised. Since our hotel is in Dubai. the entire journey (including transportation, going through customs) was around 13-14 hours (6 hours in the sea, 1 hour between Khasab to border check point, 3 hours between Dubai and the border check point). The drive there was extremely comfortable! There's AC+free Wi-Fi onboard and only 5 of us in the vehicle. Including us, there were only 8 travellers on the boat in total. When we reached the fjords, there was only one other boat in sight, which practically felt like we were on a private cruise to a secluded island. The views are absolutely phenomenal, every single photo looks like a NatGeo cover, no filter needed. For what it's worth we also LOVE the unlimited bottled juice, Arabian coffee, iced sodas, and lunch buffet. Lunch, fruits, snacks, dates are all delicious! Everyone on the boat was super friendly, professional, and welcoming. The crew captains went the extra mile to find us perfect spots to spot dolphins and catch some gullible fish :DDD I've had the time of my life paddling between the corals, swimming alongside dolphins and sunbathing on the boat :)) Forget about the crowded Burj Khalifa, the depressing Souq or dreadful World Village, this is the trip that YOU NEED!!!!! If you're looking for a smooth, well-organized getaway with top-tier service+attention, this is the one to book!!! Highly recommended! Definitely one of the best travel memories I have ever had and I would not hesitate to join another tour from Aladdin Lamp tours!!!

We had an amazing family day out on the Oman fjord. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, go fishing, and enjoy some great snorkeling. The boat crew was incredibly kind, and the snorkeling instructor was super friendly and very knowledgeable. All the activities were fantastic — we truly had a wonderful time.

Kasaab Mussandam Trip We did this trip on December 12th 2025, Organised by Alladin Lamps Tours. We were with 4 adults. Our Driver “Nandhan” was perfectly on time at 6am at the hotel. Nandhan is a very nice young guy, he presented himself and during the trip we also learned a lot about his region of origin: Kerala. We had a comfortable voyage for about 3 hours, with a smooth border passing to Oman. Nandhan organized regular stops for coffee, leg stretching and beautiful views on the road. When driving we saw some active fisher men and Nandhan was able to connect with them so we had the opportunity to see what they catch. Arriving at Kassaab he guided us to the Dhow that would take us for the cruise on the dam. Organized by Al Taif Tours. Nandhan presented us to Captain Isa and Ismail, both were taking care for us during this day trip. First we sailed and enjoyed the “Fjords”. They offered us Ghawa coffee and dades, fruits, soft drinks and a well served lunch. We were able to snorkel. And Ismail got us some sea fresh scallops which he prepared on board. This was a top traditional, simple, cuisine experience. After that we sailed to explore the dolphins. As always this is a unique and joyfull experience. After that our captain Isa saw another boat having technical problems, he suggested to help his colleagues by diving and free that boat’s propeller from a rope. After some fishing experience we sailed back to the port, were Nandhan was waiting for us. We had as save and pleasant drive home. It was the 4th time we did this trip and this was our best experience. In 2 months we are going back with our children, no doubt with whom we will travel again. A big Thank you to Nandhan, Isa and Ismail Patrick Sandra, Ruud & Els

I feel like I really need to leave a review here. It’s easy to have a great experience when everything goes according to plan — but the true test of a travel company is how they handle things when plans don’t go smoothly. That’s exactly where Aladdin truly shined for us. We had booked our trip and were beyond excited, only to be stopped at the Oman border and informed that my partner couldn’t travel because his UAE residency visa was still in progress (enter panic mode!). Luckily, it was just the two of us in the car. Our chauffeur Nandu was absolutely amazing — calm, kind, and immediately proactive. He contacted the coordinator, and despite this situation being completely outside their control, the entire team genuinely tried to help. They offered alternative activities and even suggested rescheduling the same tour for a later date. Here’s where the magic continues: my partner received his UAE visa just one day later (!). We contacted Aladdin again, and they immediately arranged another trip for us — this time organizing it as a private tour, since there was no other group scheduled for that Saturday. No hassle, no hesitation. The communication via WhatsApp was outstanding: fast, efficient, polite, and incredibly reassuring. Honestly, I was in awe of the level of customer service — it felt personal, human, and truly caring. We even ended up with the same driver, Nandu — and if you’re lucky enough to get him, you’re in for a treat. He goes above and beyond to make sure you enjoy every moment: playing your favorite music, stopping spontaneously for a sunset because he notices you’re enjoying it — those little thoughtful touches make all the difference. In short: this company is awesome. Professional, flexible, kind, and genuinely invested in giving you a great experience. Highly, highly recommended.

A truly nice experience. Worth the ride to get to the docks. The crew is extremely helpful. Food was excellent. AMAZING SCENERY!

Company was excellent and proactive. Driver on time and gave good tips, crew was perfect, good explanation, food and spots for snorkelling. Highly recomended

Great landscape and nice sea activities, unfortunately group was big and became a bit slow so everyone could try kayaking

It was a very nice day trip to Oman! The duration was long, but it was worth it. I can't say that it was a super incredible experience, but it was quite nice! The captain and the other man on the boat were very good. Also, the people I communicated with online were friendly. Our drive, Nandhan, was really good! He was friendly, hard-working and helpful. He was communicating with us, telling us some historical facts and did also some stops. Generally, I recommend this trip from the UAE to Oman.

A fantastic day out, with stunning scenery. Was contacted at the point of booking for passport details and the day before to inform of pick up time. The drive was prompt and friendly. As for the boat trip, we were lucky enough to have dolphins follow our dhow boat into the area. Food was lovely and opportunities to swim, snorkel and kayak. Thank you.

We booked on a Sunday that happened to be the day of the annual Dubai run. The driver couldn’t reach us not get to our hotel so after 50 minutes of calls we walked through the nearest Metro station to his car. After another half hour to pick up the third passenger we were off on our 3 hour commute. The boat ride was fun. Saw lots of dolphins and stopped twice for snorkeling. Water was warm but murky. Saw many fish but not colorful in murky seas. We were thinking maybe this long day was worth it. But another 4 hour return (30 minutes out of our way to drop off one other passenger) convinced us that this 14 hour day was not worth it. This was our second trip to Dubai and it will be our last.

Truly great door to door experience! They took care of everything from transport, border crossing paperwork, delicious lunch, snorkeling, dolphins, fishing, opportunity to go to land & walk around as well, with incredible views of the Oman coastline! 1000% recommend this specific tour over others posted & the guide Nandhan with Aladdin Lamps Tours was especially fantastic, catering to every need, question, request & truly caring about giving his guests the best experience possible. There’s a 2-3 hours drive & back, to get to the port. Then you’ll spend the day on the water in nature relaxing or doing activities. But it’s an all inclusive doable day trip from Dubai & worth it to get to experience nature & see another country while in the area.

I have been two khasab many times and it’s each time it’s gets more interesting .This time I went with two tourists from Chicago who were visiting UAE.Mr David and Madame Corrine had an awesome time in Khasab fjords of Sultante of Oman.While going I told them I will show you the real country side ,small fishing villages.We saw many dolphins,did snorkeling,kayaking and swimming.The whole crew was very caring and considerate.Special Thanks to Nandhu from Aladdin Lamp and Boat crew Badusha,Eisa and Ismael.Captain Eisa and Ismaeel made the boat ride memorable.They went out of their way to make us happy.Unforgettable journey The lunch and over all hospitality in the boat was great

Great day trip option from Dubai. Excellent transfer service and they handled all the border paperwork in advance. Boat is relaxing and offers two good opportunities to get out and swim. Scenery is superb.

This was the highlight of my trip. Really wonderful experience. Great guide and captain. Would highly recommend. I loved seeing the fjords, dolphins and tropical fish. The service was excellent.

Best experience 5 of 5 Hands down the best dive experience I’ve had in Dubai! If you’re thinking of diving, don’t miss the chance to book with this company—they are professional, fun, and truly care about making your experience unforgettable. A special shoutout to Boris, the dive instructor—he’s funny, cool, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made learning feel so easy and stress-free, even if you’re new to diving. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to capture some amazing underwater photos that I’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for a safe, exciting, and well-organized dive trip with a personal touch, this is the team to trust. 100% recommended!

Firstly it was like traveling back in time being in a Persian carpet bottom dhow! Our group was small, 12 tourists and 2 crew. Very little common language but very pleasant group. Yes the water was gorgeous. Swimming and snorkeling among schools of yellow finned and electric blue fish. Dolphins playing in our wake for long periods. Wow! The 1 shipmate was wonderful, bringing around fruits and cold drinks repeatedly as well as preparing a beautiful lunch. We came across a very large group of cormorants, estimated 2,000-6,000. Really really exceptional and creating a special life long memory.

This was a great and welcome day out from the frenetic pace of Dubai. Everything ran smoothly. A 6.30 start from our hotel , quite doable , and with one other pick up we were on our way up through the other emirates to Oman . Don’t see too much from the motorway but could spot plenty of camels the further north you went . Not usually one for 6 hr boat trips but this was done very well . Well fed and watered with plenty of activities .If you’re going on one of these trips make sure you’ve got the one with the border taxes included . Also make sure you’ve got the trip that goes to Khasab not Dibba as I think some of those billed as boat trips do not land on Omani soil . They just travel up the coast .

We had the best time on this trip! The boat trip was so comfortable and peaceful, the views were absolutely stunning with the fjords and the incredible color of the water, the food was great, there was fishing. We saw a bunch of dolphins and the snorkeling was great as well. Our guide Nandhan was the absolute best! Would highly recommend and definitely do this again - thank you so much for such an amazing day and experience!!

The trip was amazing! It is such a beautiful place to visit. Going with this tour was great because they help guide you through the border and the visa is included in the fee. Our driver Nandhan did a great job!

This tour was definitely the highlight of my solo trip to Dubai. It is well-organized, filled with amazing sites, and worth every penny. My driver, Nandu was incredible. He is a very kind person who felt like a friend by the end of the trip. I was the only one for the pickup from Dubai to Oman, so we talked most of the time there and back He also handled all the border crossings smoothly. As for the actual boat tour - just amazing. I was truly blown away by the scenery there in Khasab. Just incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. Ismail was the crew and he was just awesome. So friendly and helpful and always ready to get you whatever you needed. I want to also say that as an American, don't be intimidated by going to Oman. The US and Oman actually have a good relationship and there is nothing to worry about. Don’t miss out! Book it, you won’t regret it.

SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE Bashar our guide definitely made this trip an unforgettable experience and he made everyone feel included and engaged in all the activities, they really made sure we have fun in every possible way. I loved every moment of this trip and would absolutely redo it

The views of the fjord are unforgettable and alone worth the price. But even more than lovely views, there were plentiful opportunities for swimming and kayaking. Snacks & lunch were provided and very good. It was also cool to ride along the highway right along the Gulf coast. Thanks to Nandhan for driving us & for a very friendly boat crew!

The trip was a perfect combination of relaxing and sight seeing. Our driver Nandhan was excellent and the boat crew found us dolphins multiple times as well as found great places to go swimming.

super beautiful experience, it's something unique and wonderful. I recommend it with all confidence. Our guide, Nandhan, was very friendly and kind, giving us all the details we needed. An unmissable and unforgettable experience.

Starting with the driver nandhan who did an outstanding job delivering us out of Dubai and into Oman right to the docks where your other tour employees were waiting for our arrival! The boat tour was so relaxing and we never felt rushed or short of time to enjoy the beautiful fiords of Oman! The lunch was delicious and plenty of it! We swam snorkeled and enjoyed relaxing on the boat! Job well done e

besides the spectacular scenery worth mentioning: perfect organization from pick-up till taken back to the hotel and also at frontier crossing special thanks to the driver.

Wonderful experience to Khasab from Dubai. Everything was handled smoothly and timely, from the pickup to the border/immigration crossing to boarding the boat and then back to Dubai. The cruise experience included a nice lunch, drinks/refreshments and allowed for enough time to kayak, swim and fish among the breathtaking backdrop. I would highly recommend if you’re looking a convenient, unique and price-effective package from Dubai - an absolutely memorable experience that is one of a kind.

A quick escape to Musandam with jagged mountains plunging into turquoise waters, traditional dhows gliding slowly and fjord inlets where dolphins roam, seemingly aware of the serene atmosphere Musandam boasts an almost spiritual stillness, with no skyscrapers or rush, just waves and distant seabird calls. It's a place to breathe deeply, reset and appreciate untouched landscapes

This trip was amazing! My diver Nandhan picked me up for our 2.5 hour ride. I was able to get over an hour of sleep in. We made it across the border with no problem. Stopped to take a few photos and Nandhan had some chai tea and sweets for us. Afterwards we went to the boat where it was very relaxing setup. We started out day with dolphins following along side our boat and it was off to our first point to snorkel. Afterwards we went to our second site for Snorkeling where we had an amazing lunch. On our way back we stopped for a bit to do some fishing. Sadly, I did not catch any fish for the captain pulled in 6 of them. This was the highlight of my trip to Dubai. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Views are stunning and need to be seen in person. A once in a lifetime experience. Our driver, Nandhan, was amazing and went above and beyond what was expected! Would do again!

Amazing trip with stunning views! Great staff on the boat who guaranteed a very chill environment. More than enough soft drinks & water, coffee, fruit and dades. The lunch was very tasteful. Sufficient time to snorkel,swim and enjoy the surroundings. Icing on the cake was the spotting of the dolphins. Pick up at our hotel by Nandhan was on time. Guidance through customs was seamless. Nice stops for some photo opportunities on the way. Overall a great experience worth 5 Stars. Thanks guy’s!

I had such an amazing time exploring the beautiful Oman!! 🇴🇲 Nandhan was so patient and friendly the entire day. From pick up to drop off we felt totally taken care of and safe.

Great trip, wad a great experience to see something different when visiting the UAE. Food and views were a 10/10 and so was the service. Super friendly. Special thanks to Sami for chasing down all the dolphins and also our driver Nandhan for getting us there so safely and in comfort.

Highly recommend this trip! An amazing time with Nandhan our driver and Ismael our guide on the boat! We were able to see dolphins, snorkel, easily cross the borders and had a wonderful lunch. Our family of 5 was impressed and blessed to be part of this tour. Perfect day trip!

Good Experience and taking lots of photo of dolphin. Great Experience with the Tour Guide Nandhan, great commentary for the forts and beach in Oman

Amazing experience! We are really enjoyed trip to Oman. It was wonderful seeing the dolphins, swimming and had a lot of fun 🤩

Great Experience, pick up was on time Modern vehicle, very friendly boat crew, Amazing atmosphere, lovely dolphins jumping around , wonderful kayak ride, Trip was highly organized from A-Z Highly recommended thanks to aladdin tours

I made the dhow Cruise to Musandam in Oman. It was really amazing experience. The car that dropped us very comfortable, the driver very good. And the time in boat was incredible, saw dolphins, swimming, the guide, the food. I recommend it! Thanks for all!

Excellent trip I very friendly crew - dolphins around us - Cristal water for swimming and snorkeling, Great !!! I highly recommend it

The trip was outstanding, we have spend all the day on the boat with good food, nice views of montain's and a company of delphins.

Wonderful day trip across the border to Oman seeing fjords and sailing on a dhow with dolphins swimming along. Lots of swimming, snorkelling and kayaking. Fun and fabulous day trip from Dubai to a very different scenery.

This was an incredible excursion. Do not be dissuaded by the long day. (it was worth getting up at 6am). Do not be dissuaded by concerns of safety. (For Americans, Oman is the oldest American ally in Arabia. Northern peninsula of Oman is FAR FAR away from the Southern separate part of the country that borders Yemen. Very safe and very gracious people.) Do not be dissuaded thinking this is a “boring” excursion. Take in the sights along a tranquil ride on a dhow boat. It was relaxing and restful. And the sights of the mountains and the clean water. Now I know why Musandam is called the “Norway of Arabia”. The pick up was seamless at our hotel. Clean vehicle. Gracious driver. Border process was as easy as possible with the help of our driver. The tour company met us upon arrival at the boat. Welcomed us and escorted us to our boat. The crew were kind and informative with the sites as we cruised. Lunch was served after our chance of swimming in the waters. Fish everywhere! And dolphin! LOTS of dolphin! Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Soft drinks, water and fresh fruit available throughout the day. (stay hydrated!) Truly one of the highlights of our week long visit to Dubai and the region.

All very good. Very professional driver Ahmed. I liked the empathetic approach and overall flexibility. I strongly recommend this trip all Dubai visitors.

Was very nice. The place is amazing. We arrived to the cruise at 10 am. I was expecting be there until 17/18hs at least but 16hs we were already back in the car. But the rest, cruise, food, place was amazing and really nice day

none a lot of travelling and waiting around. Did not mention there was a 3 hour travelling time either way, and lots of waiting around at the boarder. The cruise from the iteneray were was given was 10 - 4. In fact the cruise didn't go till 11am and was back at 3pm. with two stops for swimming for an hour each. A waste of money and time. Nothing to see

The best trip I did very friendly crew - dolphins around us - Cristal water for swimming and snorkeling , eco and nature view ….mind blowing Amazing Oman ..highly recommended

I went to Omán in August , the experience was amazing, I enjoy to much saw the dolphins becouse was my first time and swing in this beautiful sea, the staff were very friendly and kindly. It is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the Peace of that place.

Our family of 4 with parents, 14 and 9 year old kids were lucky enough to have this tour with Bashar. We were picked up from our hotel and whisked away from Dubai traffic to an easy boarder crossing to Oman. The drive along the cost was breathtaking. We met our onboard guide Khaled and captain Dahnsukh on our family’s own private Dhow. The scenery in the fjords is amazing! We were served plenty of healthy and great tasting food and drinks throughout the trip. The hospitality was unbelievable. As promised, we saw many pods of dolphins playing in the fjord who even swam along with the boat for many minutes at a time. The water is a brilliant blue and warm, and snorkeling was very refreshing. We were brought back to port on time and had an easy return through the boarder to UAE before returning to Dubai. We would highly recommend this experience with this company, and particularly with these guides! It is a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks everyone again!
