Cast your line into some of the most fish-rich waters in the Arabian Sea on our traditional dhow fishing trip from Khasab, Musandam. The fjords of Musandam are home to an extraordinary variety of marine life — from the prized Hamour (grouper) and Kingfish to Snapper, Barracuda, and Tuna — making this one of the finest fishing destinations in the Middle East.

Our fishing dhows are crewed by experienced local fishermen who have worked these waters for generations. They know exactly where the fish are, what bait to use, and how to read the tides. Whether you're a seasoned angler or picking up a rod for the first time, you'll have an unforgettable experience.

Day Fishing Trip (6 Hours): Depart from Khasab Port in the morning and cruise to prime fishing spots deep in the fjords. Fish using traditional hand lines and modern rods. Enjoy the stunning scenery while waiting for the bite.

Night Fishing Trip (4 Hours): Experience the magic of night fishing in the fjords. Fish are more active after dark, and the bioluminescent plankton in Musandam's waters creates a spectacular light show. Perfect for a unique evening adventure.

What You Might Catch: • Hamour (Grouper) — the most prized catch in Oman • Kingfish (Scomberomorus) — fast, powerful fighters • Red Snapper — abundant in the rocky fjords • Barracuda — exciting sport fish • Tuna — seasonal, excellent fighters • Squid — especially active at night

Your catch can be cooked fresh on board — our crew will clean and grill your fish with traditional Omani spices for an authentic meal you'll never forget.
