Oman is a very beautiful country located on the mighty gulf. Its diverse landscape features desert, mountains, and coastline, creating breathtaking views. Its rich culture and historic sites make Oman a fascinating place to explore. With its unique blend of Middle Eastern and African influences, Oman is an unforgettable and extraordinary place to visit.

As the sun sets over the Gulf of Oman, the shadow of the dhows that line the horizon becomes visible, making it one of the best views that one can hold. Dhows are traditional Omani boats; it is believed that in earlier times they were used as boats to travel on water. They ate now used for luxury and comfort as they are the perfect way to experience the beauty of the country's coastline. A Musandam dhow cruise overnight is an unforgettable experience that should not be missed when visiting Oman.

The dhow boats are spacious and hold a lot of Omani history and culture, with their large sails billowing in the wind and their bright and colorful paintwork. These boats are decorated with seashells, designs, and flowers. Having pictures in these are definitely Instagram worthy. As you sail along the coastline of Oman, you will be able to take in the stunning views of the golden sand dunes and the rugged mountains in the distance. This is the beauty of Oman, of course.

The dhow cruise will take you on a journey of discovery, allowing you to get close to the shore and explore the hidden routes, this will undoubtedly make you feel like a pirate. Later, you can also swim and snorkel, and spot a variety of marine life. It is quite famous here in Oman. On the way back to the port, be sure to keep your eyes searching for the dolphins that are often spotted in the area. People book dhow cruises specially for this, as dolphin watching is a thing here. You can capture aesthetic and adventurous images here, as the oceanic beauty here is at its peak.

The best part of a dhow cruise tour is the sense of freedom you get from sailing the open ocean. If you maintain silence for a while, you will have a different feeling as the sun sets, you will be able to watch the changing colors of the sky and the stars slowly coming out. Witnessing the colors melt into the ocean is a great feeling in itself. It is a blend of both romance and adventure.
