Review of the Khasab Musandam dhow cruise, with fjord views, dolphin spotting, snorkeling, Omani lunch, pickup, price, and practical tips.
“Una giornata speciale attraverso questa meravigliosa esperienza! Una giornata dove abbiamo potuto avvistare i delfini, fare due soste per lo snorkeling e pranzare tutti insieme sul dhow. Gli organizzatori sono preziosi e super disponibili. Il nostro volo Muscat-Khasab era in ritardo, ma siamo rimasti in contatto via whatsapp e ci hanno aspettato permettendoci di fare l'escursione. La ciliegina sulla torta è il transfer (gratuito) dall'aeroporto o dall'hotel in cui si pernotta al porto per la crociera in dhow (e ovviamente anche il rientro a fine giornata). Un'esperienza davvero eccezionale che super consiglio!”
