"Absolutely breathtaking experience! The dolphin watching was incredible — we saw at least 20 dolphins. The crew was so professional and the lunch was delicious. Best day trip from Dubai by far."

Khasab, Musandam

The early bird catches the worm—or in this case, sees the most dolphins! Our Morning Dolphin Tour departs early when the fjords are at their calmest and the lighting is soft and magical, making it an absolute dream for photographers. Marine life is typically most active in the early hours of the day before the afternoon winds pick up. Glide through the glassy turquoise waters of Khor Sham and enjoy peaceful, uncrowded encounters with Musandam's famous humpback and bottlenose dolphins.

"We come back every year with the family. The kids absolutely love it. The fjords are stunning and the team makes everything so easy — from border crossing advice to pickup at the port."
"As cruise ship passengers, we were worried about timing. Jazar guaranteed our return to the ship and delivered perfectly. The Khor Sham fjords are genuinely like Norway but with warm water!"
"The mountain safari to Jebel Harim was extraordinary. Our guide knew everything about the fossils and local history. The views from the top are worth every minute of the drive up."
