Cruise Muscat’s coast at sunset on a traditional dhow, passing forts, palaces, and Al Bustan Palace with coffee, dates, and pickup.

“We booked this without really being sure what to expect. The port is a bit of a way out from Muscat, and around the headland from Matrah. The boat is a beautiful old Dhow, and it really feels like a different pace of life compared to the city. Read more”

Review of Muscat’s 2-hour sunset dhow cruise, with Sultan Palace views, hotel pickup, kahwa, dates, pricing, and practical booking advice.

“Very organized logistics, smooth pickup and return by Mr Said from the hotel, friendly professional and attentive Dhow crew even in the windy sea conditions. If there's a mini Majlis on the dhow for dinner, that would make an already great service to top notch. Price also fairly reasonable per person.”

Review of Muscat’s Omani dhow sunset cruise, with landmark views, practical tips, sea conditions, pickup details, price, and honest advice.

“Really boring experience couldn’t wait to get off would not recommend to anyone. Not worth the money sadly sat in the dark on the way back for half of it, dragged the trip out so slow for two hours. Not much exciting things to even see! Not sure the purpose of the trip in all honesty.”

7.Omani dhow:Coastal and Sunset Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · from $80

Review of Muscat’s $80 sunset dhow cruise, with palace views, forts, coffee, dates, transfers, sea conditions, and booking advice.

“It was nice. But it could’ve been great. If there was maybe music on for maybe had an option where people can purchase light bites or even have some snacks available. It was very bumpy and choppy due to the water and obviously that is not the fault of the crew. But just having some music on board and making it a little bit lively would’ve helped.”
