Musandam Yacht Itinerary
The route
-
Stop 1 · Get settled in
Dubai
Begin with a cruise past the Burj Al Arab, striking by day and luminous by night, with time for a jet ski run along one of Dubai's most iconic stretches of water. In the afternoon anchor off J1 Beach where Riviera-inspired restaurants set the scene before drifting back onboard at sunset. For dinner we recommend One&Only or a super private dinner at anchor in the world islands.

Stop 2 · Beach club & Casino
Umm Al Quwain · Ras Al Khaimah
Cruising north, Umm Al Quwain is an easy stop for a relaxed afternoon at Lumi Beach Club. Barefoot lunch, calm waters, and a sense of stepping away from the city entirely. Further on, Ras Al Khaimah opens into wider, quieter waters. Spend the day exploring untouched coastline, head inland for a hike through rugged terrain, or shift into evening mode with a visit to the emirate's new casino scene before returning to the yacht under a darker, quieter sky.

Stop 3 · Musandam Peninsula
Khasab
Welcome to Oman. It is time to explore the Musandam Peninsula. Here, the desert flatlands give way to a dramatic mountainous landscape interspersed by a labyrinthine succession of coves, bays, and inlets. This is a land of desert fjords that can be every bit as magnificent as their Nordic counterpart.
-
Stop 4 · Water Toys
Khor ash Sham
The only heights within sight are the walls of barren rock that enclose the pristine, warm waters of the Khor ash Sham inlet. It is a perfect place for hiking, ideal for photoshoots, and offers opportunities to use all the water toys available onboard. An ideal spot for snorkelling and swimming.
-
Stop 5 · Spa Day
Zingy Bay
Unlike anywhere else, this Musandam resort is set between craggy mountains on one side and a long sandy beach on the other. Spa with two Arabic style hammams, an ice cave, a menu of skin purifying and soul-soothing treatments, outdoor yoga with great sunrise views, an indoor gym, or outdoor workouts in the jungle gym. Dinner will be at SHUA SHACK. An authentic Arabic dining experience.
-
Stop 6 · Ancient Capital
Sohar
Sohar, a former Islamic port town and an ancient capital of Oman, has also been identified as the mythological birthplace of Sinbad the Sailor. Now, Sohar is an industrial hub due to massive development. There are many spots of outstanding beauty decorated with lush green mountains, turquoise water, golden desert, and ancient forts and museums.
-
Stop 7 · Maritime Heritage
Sur
The city of Sur is well-known for upholding its rich maritime heritage as a contributing factor to the significant Omani roles played during maritime navigation in the past. Explore a Dhow Factory. An opportunity to observe how wooden boats were made in earlier times. Or visit Bilad Sur Castle, one of the grandest bastions of Wilayat.
-
Stop 8 · Jewel of the Middle East
Ad Dimaniyat Islands
An absolute highlight for your adventure onboard in Oman! Nine small islands make up this hotspot, often called "the Jewel of the Middle East." The islands are surrounded by turquoise waters and stunning coral reefs, perfect for snorkelling and diving. There is a huge diversity of corals, moray eels, stingrays, zebra sharks, and turtles, as well as whale sharks in summer.
-
Stop 9 · Ancient Culture
Muscat
Cruise from the islands over to your final stop. A final breakfast will be served during your cruise and once you have arrived we'll make sure a local tour will be organized to take you around Muscat, the capital city of Oman. A picturesque and vibrant city located along the Gulf of Oman. With a rich history dating back thousands of years, the city is a fascinating blend of ancient culture, modern architecture, and natural beauty.
