Musandam Dibba Uncovered

Embark on an enthralling two-day expedition with our Musandam Dibba Adventure Tour, revealing the hidden gems of the Musandam Peninsula, often lauded as the 'Norway of Arabia.' This extraordinary journey seamlessly integrates awe-inspiring landscapes, exhilarating activities, and cultural insights, promising an unforgettable experience.

Day 1 unfolds with a picturesque drive from Dubai to Dibba, treating you to breathtaking views of the Hajar Mountains. The adventure commences with a hike to Dibba's secluded beach, followed by a tranquil speedboat ride to a cove beach embraced by majestic mountains. As the sun sets, we establish camp, savoring a delectable barbecue feast served on board. The evening is filled with camaraderie – playing card games and enjoying music beneath a star-studded sky.

Day 2 invites you to explore Dibba's Fjords, commencing with a breathtaking sunrise and a hearty breakfast. Embark on a traditional Dhow boat cruise along the picturesque Dibba coastline, offering opportunities for snorkeling, swimming, and an exhilarating banana boat ride in crystal-clear waters.

Venture into limestone caves, partake in thrilling water sports like kayaking, paddle-boarding, and additional banana boat rides, or opt for deep-water soloing for the adventurous souls (don't forget your climbing boots). A diverse buffet lunch is served in a picturesque setting as the dhow cruise anchors. As the day's adventures conclude, we return to Dubai, arriving around 7 pm.
