Oman Musandam & Dibba Cruise

A tour to Musandam Dibba is a day trip to the strikingly beautiful Musandam Peninsula region of Oman. Your holiday trip to Musandam Dibba is full of different leisure activities where you will have plenty of fun and excitement.

While on the way to Musandam Dibba, you enjoy a scenic drive through narrow roads and hairpin bends carved out of the majestic Hajar Mountains. You will be visiting picturesque places such as the exotic Carpet market of Fujairah nestled among the scenic Masafi Mountains.

The full road trip from Dubai / Sharjah until Dibba Harbor takes approximately 2 hours.
