The Experience:
The overnight Musandam Khasab trip with overnight stay in Musandam Khasab hotel of Golden Tulip Hotel is really the best way to enjoy one full day of nature surfing. From the moment you are picked up from Dubai Sharjah early in the morning, you have feeling excitement. And, your inner thoughts of having a great day come alive when your vehicle reaches Fujairah's Carpet market leaving golden sand dunes far behind. Once you reach the Oman border, the landscape changes more dramatically. You would soon find yourself on the tops and turns of mountains of Hajar that rise steeply and falls down dizzyingly into the sea. The road trip ends when you reach Musandam Khasab where a traditional Omani Wooden Dhow resplendent in its decked up glory. It has every means of comfort including pillows and carpets for you to laze around. Very soon your cruise enters into the famous fjord of Char-e-Sham. It is a narrow sea inlet sandwiched from both sides by tall and rugged mountains. The cruise on fjord takes you through the Telehraph island as well as seebi islad. There is a brief stopover at Telegraph Island for those who would like to watch the exotic marine life from very close range. Snorkling kit is provided. While the fjords reach Indian Ocean you would get to see the famous Dolphin Safari. These very cute sea mammales dance around your dhow acrobatically. You also get to see centuries old stone houses and other hamlets of local fishing tribes. After around 6 hours of cruise on the fjords, the Dhow returns to Khasab harbor where a vehcile is awaiting to take you to the fames Golden Tulip hotel of Musandam Khasab. You would refresh yourself with a nice bath and then proceed for a night of calming activity including swimming or building sand castles with your little ones. After dinner you retire to your bed and wake upto a fresh morning and rejuvinated body. A healthy continental breakfast buffet await you. You will finish your breakfast, check out and our vehicle would bring you back to your destination in Dubai or Sharjah. Alternatively, the same trip can be done in reverse when you are in a mood to first stay overnight in the hotel in Musandam Khasab and do the trip the following day. This is a more exclusive option and generally done by those who have a longer weekend.
