We had an amazing family day out on the Oman fjord. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, go fishing, and enjoy some great snorkeling. The boat crew was incredibly kind, and the snorkeling instructor was super friendly and very knowledgeable. All the activities were fantastic — we truly had a wonderful time.

Great landscape and nice sea activities, unfortunately group was big and became a bit slow so everyone could try kayaking
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Dear Mr. Xavier
Greeting from Aladdin Tours Dubai
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing our Khasab, Oman trip.
Your visit took place on 3 January, which is part of the New Year peak season. During this period, demand is very high, and tours are often fully booked with larger groups.
To ensure that all guests have the opportunity to enjoy activities such as kayaking, some waiting time may be required so everyone can participate safely and fairly.
We truly appreciate your understanding and patience during this busy holiday period. Your feedback is very important to us, and we always strive to improve our organization and guest experience.
We hope to welcome you again in the future, perhaps during a quieter season, for a more relaxed and personalized experience.
Kind regards,
Aladdin Team

It was a very nice day trip to Oman! The duration was long, but it was worth it. I can't say that it was a super incredible experience, but it was quite nice! The captain and the other man on the boat were very good. Also, the people I communicated with online were friendly. Our drive, Nandhan, was really good! He was friendly, hard-working and helpful. He was communicating with us, telling us some historical facts and did also some stops. Generally, I recommend this trip from the UAE to Oman.

A fantastic day out, with stunning scenery. Was contacted at the point of booking for passport details and the day before to inform of pick up time. The drive was prompt and friendly. As for the boat trip, we were lucky enough to have dolphins follow our dhow boat into the area. Food was lovely and opportunities to swim, snorkel and kayak. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your amazing review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to know you had such a wonderful experience from start to finish — from the smooth transport and border crossing to the dolphin watching, snorkeling, and exploring the stunning Oman coastline. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the relaxing day out in nature.
We’re grateful for your heartfelt recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another unforgettable adventure with Aladdin Lamp Tours!

We booked on a Sunday that happened to be the day of the annual Dubai run. The driver couldn’t reach us not get to our hotel so after 50 minutes of calls we walked through the nearest Metro station to his car. After another half hour to pick up the third passenger we were off on our 3 hour commute. The boat ride was fun. Saw lots of dolphins and stopped twice for snorkeling. Water was warm but murky. Saw many fish but not colorful in murky seas. We were thinking maybe this long day was worth it. But another 4 hour return (30 minutes out of our way to drop off one other passenger) convinced us that this 14 hour day was not worth it. This was our second trip to Dubai and it will be our last.

Dear Mr. mitchell
Warm Greeting's From aladdin lamp tours Dubai !!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are pleased to know that you enjoyed the boat ride, dolphin sightings, and snorkeling stops during the tour.
Regarding the delay at the beginning of your journey, your tour unfortunately coincided with the 6th Annual Dubai Cycling Race, during which Sheikh Zayed Road and the surrounding areas were completely closed. This situation was entirely beyond our control or the driver’s control. Our driver remained in continuous communication with you and even coordinated with your hotel reception to find the safest and fastest way to reach you despite the road closures.
We would also like to clarify that the tour details clearly mention that this is a 12–13 hour full-day trip, and all information about the duration and shared transfer is transparently listed on the booking page. The vehicle on the day was shared only with one other guest, as specified. For guests who prefer private transfers, we are always happy to arrange this option upon request.
Regarding the sea conditions, water clarity varies naturally from day to day depending on weather and marine factors. Just as there are differences between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Oman, visibility can change—but we always strive to offer the best possible experience based on the conditions of the day.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback and are sorry that the long travel time affected your overall impression. Your comments help us improve continuously, and we hope to welcome you again for a smoother and even more enjoyable experience.
Thank you once again for your review.
Respectfully Yours

Great day trip option from Dubai. Excellent transfer service and they handled all the border paperwork in advance. Boat is relaxing and offers two good opportunities to get out and swim. Scenery is superb.

Firstly it was like traveling back in time being in a Persian carpet bottom dhow! Our group was small, 12 tourists and 2 crew. Very little common language but very pleasant group.
Yes the water was gorgeous. Swimming and snorkeling among schools of yellow finned and electric blue fish. Dolphins playing in our wake for long periods. Wow!
The 1 shipmate was wonderful, bringing around fruits and cold drinks repeatedly as well as preparing a beautiful lunch.
We came across a very large group of cormorants, estimated 2,000-6,000. Really really exceptional and creating a special life long memory.

This was a great and welcome day out from the frenetic pace of Dubai. Everything ran smoothly. A 6.30 start from our hotel , quite doable , and with one other pick up we were on our way up through the other emirates to Oman . Don’t see too much from the motorway but could spot plenty of camels the further north you went . Not usually one for 6 hr boat trips but this was done very well . Well fed and watered with plenty of activities .If you’re going on one of these trips make sure you’ve got the one with the border taxes included . Also make sure you’ve got the trip that goes to Khasab not Dibba as I think some of those billed as boat trips do not land on Omani soil . They just travel up the coast .

This tour was definitely the highlight of my solo trip to Dubai. It is well-organized, filled with amazing sites, and worth every penny. My driver, Nandu was incredible. He is a very kind person who felt like a friend by the end of the trip. I was the only one for the pickup from Dubai to Oman, so we talked most of the time there and back. He also handled all the border crossings smoothly. As for the actual boat tour - just amazing. I was truly blown away by the scenery there in Khasab. Just incredible. Pictures do not do it justice. Ismail was the crew and he was just awesome. So friendly and helpful and always ready to get you whatever you needed. I want to also say that as an American, don’t be intimidated by going to Oman. The US and Oman actually have a good relationship and there is nothing to be afraid of in going. Don’t miss out! Book it. You won’t regret it.

Wonderful experience to Khasab from Dubai. Everything was handled smoothly and timely, from the pickup to the border/immigration crossing to boarding the boat and then back to Dubai. The cruise experience included a nice lunch, drinks/refreshments and allowed for enough time to kayak, swim and fish among the breathtaking backdrop.
I would highly recommend if you’re looking a convenient, unique and price-effective package from Dubai - an absolutely memorable experience that is one of a kind.

none a lot of travelling and waiting around.
Did not mention there was a 3 hour travelling time either way, and lots of waiting around at the boarder.
The cruise from the iteneray were was given was 10 - 4. In fact the cruise didn't go till 11am and was back at 3pm. with two stops for swimming for an hour each. A waste of money and time. Nothing to see
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear valued customer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent experience with us.
We attempted to reach out to you via email and WhatsApp through our quality manager for further insights into your trip, but unfortunately, we did not receive a response.
Regarding the travel duration of 3 hours from UAE to Oman, we understand that this indicates a more extensive trip rather than a short excursion. Delays at the border are common due to customs procedures and the volume of passengers crossing, which can occasionally lead to rush periods.
As stated in our itinerary, there were two designated stops for swimming and snorkeling, which we did adhere to. However, if you were dissatisfied with the snorkeling experience or faced difficulties due to unfamiliarity with swimming or using the snorkeling equipment, we regret any inconvenience caused. It's important to note that our sea cruise trips are centered around water activities.
We also provided additional amenities such as kayaks and the opportunity to observe dolphins around the dhow. We apologize if these aspects did not meet your expectations.
Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to address any concerns you may have to enhance future experiences with us.
Heather_B, May 2023
Our family of 4 with parents, 14 and 9 year old kids were lucky enough to have this tour with Bashar. We were picked up from our hotel and whisked away from Dubai traffic to an easy boarder crossing to Oman. The drive along the cost was breathtaking. We met our onboard guide Khaled and captain Dahnsukh on our family’s own private Dhow. The scenery in the fjords is amazing! We were served plenty of healthy and great tasting food and drinks throughout the trip. The hospitality was unbelievable. As promised, we saw many pods of dolphins playing in the fjord who even swam along with the boat for many minutes at a time. The water is a brilliant blue and warm, and snorkeling was very refreshing. We were brought back to port on time and had an easy return through the boarder to UAE before returning to Dubai. We would highly recommend this experience with this company, and particularly with these guides! It is a once in a lifetime experience. Thanks everyone again!

Het is een prachtige tour. Het is wel een lange tour maar is het wel waard. Musandam is prachtig om met de boot rond te varen. Het is goed geregeld en het eten en drinken aan boord is ook voldoende. De grensovergang ging vrij snel ondanks dat je eerst de VAE uitgaat en Oman in op de terugweg Oman uit en de VAE in. Je staat dus vier keer bij de douane met je paspoort en dus ook vier stempels. Het is ook vrij zeker dat je dolfijnen ziet onderweg. Bij ons zwom er een hele tijd een met de boot mee.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Hartelijk dank voor uw vriendelijke review. Wij zijn verheugd te horen dat u de tour, ondanks de lengte, de moeite waard vond en heeft genoten van de prachtige boottocht in Musandam. Fijn om te weten dat alles goed georganiseerd was, het eten en drinken aan boord aan uw verwachtingen voldeed en de grensovergang soepel verliep. Het zien van de dolfijnen maakte de ervaring compleet.
Wij kijken ernaar uit u opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur met Aladdin Tours.
