Beautiful! - This was a wonderful excursion - we spent the day together with other guests and explored the dive spots :-) After the day guests left around 4 pm, we were alone again as a couple and could go snorkeling again shortly before sunset and saw many beautiful fish up close - a great experience, the crew took care of us quite wonderfully:-)

Incredible!! - An unforgettable experience! The overnight stay on the Dhow was incredible - from the meals provided to the complimentary kayak for exploration. The highlight was spotting dolphins and the opportunity to snorkel. A perfect blend of relaxation and adventure!

Never disappointed, always impressive - It's my fifth or sixth time going on a Dhow Tour with Arab Expedition, and I'm never disappointed. Of course, the scenery of the Musdandam is extraordinary, dolphin sightings are always impressive, and the mountains surrounding the Fjords are stunning. But importantly the team are very accommodating of our plans and wants, very friendly and helpful, respectful of the environment and the animals as well as being hospitable towards guests. Always a pleasure!

Trip of a lifetime! - This was hands down one of the best trips I have ever been on. We were a large group of 16 people, and from the word go they crew were accommodating, organised and made us feel so welcomed.
The activities, food and sights were spectacular - I would recommend this trip to everyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
Thank you to the crew and a special mention to the booking team / logistics team - they were always on the other end of the phone, answering questions and ensuring that everything was meticulously organised. THANK YOU !!!!

An amazing, unique adventure! We loved it! - My wife, daughter of 4 and I did the trip, option B which is late arrival and overnight, plus a full day on board the boat after breakfast the following morning. We arrived at 3:30 and met Sunil who we then followed to the Dock and met Captain Mooyed and the Bossun Nabesh. I had requested to fish as well so hand lines and bait were brought onboard for us.
We then set off, just us and we're told the boat would also be exclusively ours the next day.
We went out for a bit of fishing and were met by the dolphins who upon hearing the crew's whistles swam alongside us for a couple of minutes. It was beautiful.
We then went into the Khor (bay) near an island called telegraph Island to anchor for the night. Facilities on the boat are basic but enough for what you need considering it is "camping." Nabesh and Mooyed are very respectful and pleasant. Mooyed was amazing with my daughter. He even watched her alone for a while tye following day while my wife and I had a quick snorkel.
Nabesh made amazing food. Seafood mainly on night 1. We eventually settled in for the night on the main deck. It was chilli and I should have used a few more of the cushions to pad more under the mattress because eventually you do feel the hard floor.
I woke up to a sea of glass at 5:30 the next morning. It was surreal. Dead quiet and absolutely beautiful. The stars were visible in their thousands. We saw multiple shooting stars too.
Then I decided to hand line fish a little more and they came on the bite. I must have caught easily over 10.
Eventually the family woke up and we had a basic breakfast with pastries, bread and eggs and coffee etc. Then we moved on to anchor closer to telegraph Island and snorkelled for a while. Nabesh again made us a lovely fish and chicken lunch before we headed back to Dock at 2pm.
Guys, very well done. It was such a different and unique experience that we'll definitely bring our friends back to enjoy with us and recommend to many more to come try.

Beautiful night, but lots of back and forth in same area - Communication was minimal and most of the time we had no idea what's going on. We were lucky to be on our own, then were told we'd go back to pick up people and repeat same trip. All the tourist Dows sail together and stop at the same stops. For an overnight trip it's a lot of repeats. But the night was amazing.

Unscrupulous organizers - We had the 24h tour with overnight stay on board the boat and departure at 4pm. We were just the two of us who booked for this 24h tour. They asked us to change and leave the same morning at 10am, we accepted but it was without knowing...
- We were with the day group that we waited (departure at 10:40) and that we returned to drop at the port at 4pm, refuel and refuel...
- No interaction with the 2 men on board who cleaned the engine of their boat at the end of the day for 2 hours
-And finally the next day we drop anchor at 7:50 to return to the port at 8:30... We bitch, call from the boss etc... we managed to save 20min but not more (we had to take the next group to the port) whereas initially it was a return to the port at 4pm for a stay of 24h!
In short paradise place that being said but experience wasted by unscrupulous organizers...
Experiment to do but with another organism if possible!
