Dibba port in Musandam, an easy 1 1/2 hrs drive (120Km) from Dubai, Al Marsa Dhows with their fleet of 4 luxury-purpose built fiberglass Dhows, and speedboats have the privilege of entering the breathtaking world of the awesome rugged 'fjord-like' coastline known as the Eastern Musandam Peninsula.

It is here, surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian ocean and Gulf of Oman, that one of the widest biodiversities of marine species can be found anywhere in the world. The deep drops offs and cool water upwelling, provide an abundance of plankton, making this a rich feeding ground for a huge variety of marine life and coral gardens.

Perhaps more than this is the almost indescribable beauty of nature here itself, clear starlit nights, panoramic ocean seascapes, hidden coastal villages with their interesting history and traditions in dhow building and fishing. The Dhows are like small floating resorts that cruise you up into these hidden bays, which are for the most part, inaccessible by land.

Every vessel is fully equipped (including satellite communication) for cruising and living onboard with air conditioned cabins, large open sun decks, freshly prepared meals by our onboard chefs and all the facilities for diving, snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. Sailing trips onboard our fabulous Dhows and catch and release fishing trips with our professional crew are also options to explore.

Al Marsa gives you the opportunity to discover the Musandam in the best possible way onboard trips ranging from 5 hours all the way to live aboard trips lasting 7 days. So if you are looking to enjoy a nice day or a full week onboard a cruise, where you can swim, snorkel, dive or just soak up the sun and take in the scenery, there is no place more relaxing and peaceful.
