This fun two-hour cruise off the coast of Muscat, is a truly enjoyable way to see Oman from a different perspective. Your sea-faring tour starts with a short motor-coach journey from the ship to Bander Al Rowdha Marina, where you will board your wooden dhow. Relax on-board as you view the dramatic mountains, nibble on some dates, drink Arabian coffee and take pictures to show the folks back home. Dhows have been sailing the Muscat waters for centuries where they were used to on trade routes, connecting Oman, India and Iran. She features open-air seating on her raised decks, as well as a charming interior saloon complete with cushions and beautiful stained glass windows. Eventually, the dhow will head back to the marina, where you will board your motorcoach for the picturesque journey back to your ship.
