Beach Camping Package Overview
Leaving the city behind for the quiet fjords of Musandam is one of the easiest ways to truly unwind. Located where Oman’s dramatic sea cliffs meet the Gulf, our Khasab Musandam beach camping packages with dhow cruise are built for weekend travelers coming from Dubai and the wider UAE. We handle all the details for your overnight camping — from cruising the coast on a traditional Omani dhow for the whole day to pitching full-setup tents on white sandy beach.

Step 1: Arrival & Flexible Reporting Options
09:30 AM or 04:30 PM Reporting Time: It is recommended to leave before 6:00 a.m. for the morning full-day dhow cruise and beach camping once you finish the day trip. Leave at 1 p.m. If you choose a 4:30 p.m. schedule, first at the campsite, and the second day a full-day dhow cruise is planned. If you are coming from Dubai, it takes 3.5 hours to reach Khasab Musandam, Oman, from Dubai, including the border processing.
Step 2: Set Sail Into the Fjords
10:00 AM Departure from the port: We depart around 10:00 a.m. from the port. Khasab port itself presents such a fantastic view of its surroundings.

Now is the time to start this beautiful voyage that you will surely remember for the rest of your life.
Step 3: Dolphin Watching & Wild Life
10:45 AM Dolphin Watching: Dolphins are regarded as one of the most remarkable animals on the planet. These dolphins are wild, yet they still show up when your boat approaches where they reside since they love humans and have a very friendly nature. Prepare to delight in dolphin viewing while sailing through the Musandam Fjords. Your day will be made by dolphins if they follow the dhow. A full-day Khasab Musandam dhow cruise’s thrilling activity has always been natural dolphin watching.
Step 4: First Snorkeling & Swimming Stop
11:30 AM Swimming at Telegraph Island: The Telegraph Island is our first stop for swimming and snorkeling. You can do swimming and snorkeling in Musandam’s crystal-clear waters as soon as we reach there. This is the best place inside the fjords to swim and snorkel. Sea reefs and numerous kinds of colorful fish may be visible. We give you life jackets and gear for snorkeling. Please bring your own shorts or swimwear.
Step 5: Traditional Onboard Lunch
01:00 PM Lunch onboard: After enjoying swimming and snorkeling, you might have felt hungry. As soon as you’ve finished swimming, we’ll start serving lunch. On board, we have a delicious traditional Omani lunch waiting for you. Your onboard meal will include fried chicken, fried rice, salad, Khubz (Arabic bread), hummus, fruits, and soft drinks.
Step 6: Seebi Island: Swimming & Snorkeling
01:30 PM toward Seebi Island: When you’ve finished eating, we’ll leave for Seebi Island. Once again, this is a fantastic location for swimming and snorkeling. The second location is where we go swimming and snorkeling to enjoy the quiet waters of Musandam.
Step 7: Welcome to Your Secluded Beach Campsite
04:00 PM Campsite Drop-off: After enjoying swimming and snorkeling at Seebi Island, we will leave for the campsite. Here, the full-day dhow cruise will come to an end, and campsite fun will start. The staff will welcome you to the campsite and guide you through the camping arrangements accordingly.
Step 8: BBQ Dinner at the Campsite
7:00 PM BBQ Dinner: If it is not too windy, you can enjoy the live BBQ at the campsite around 7:00 p.m. We also serve you ready-to-eat barbecue food. For dinner, you can have chicken tikka, chicken kebab, beef kebab, grilled fish, rice, Arabic bread, fresh salad, hummus, and vegetable curry.
Step 9: Morning Breakfast
7:30 AM Breakfast at the campsite: You will be provided with a breakfast on the campsite the following morning that includes bread, scrambled eggs, jam, yogurt, bottled juices, plain water, coffee, and tea.
Step 10: Speedboat Return & Farewell
8:30 AM Arrival at Khasab Port: The camping excursion will come to an end once you’ve had breakfast. Right now, a speedboat will take us to the Khasab dhow port. We’ll bid you goodbye with beautiful memories and hope you’ll come on another of our spectacular journeys.
