Wonderful scenic experience in a well equipped Omani dhow boat. Polite staff, great communication and treats on board
We’re delighted to hear about your experience. Our team works hard to deliver stress-free travel planning and exceptional tours.
It was truly an amazing experience, and our entire family enjoyed every moment. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the cruise was perfectly organized. The staff were extremely responsive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout the journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended for families and anyone visiting Muscat!
We’re delighted you enjoyed the marine tour. Our team works hard to make dolphin watching safe, exciting, and enjoyable.
Excursion very well organised and staff were very helpful and friendly. The tour along the coast was excellent and we had time and explanations of all key points. And saw a a beatiful sunset. Thank for making this a memorable day for us.
It’s wonderful that our guide and driver added value to your Oman tour. Thank you for sharing — we hope to create more perfect journeys for you!
Wonderful experience on this sunset cruise. The crew was friendly and helpful. Loved the scenery this tour offered. Highly recommended
Thank you for exploring Oman with us. If you ever need personalised recommendations for tours, tickets or visa help, we’re here to support you! 🧳
The pick up was smooth and the tour itself was lovely and well organized. Your expectation should be a relaxed boat ride with beautiful sights of the stunning coastline and occasional interaction with the boat captain and staff. There were self-serve soft drinks and water readily available on the boat. Some dates and peanuts were served as well as arabic coffee. The tour company paired with a different tour company that actually operated this tour.

Excellent dhow cruise in Oman to see the sunset. Very relaxing trip along the coast line. Would recommend
Thank you for joining us on the Dhow Sunset Cruise! We're delighted you had a great time on the water. Oman’s coastline has so much more to offer — snorkeling and sunset cruises are also a must-try next time you visit.
It's a beautiful and peaceful ride along the coast of Muscat. Small snacks and drinks are provided. The guides are a bit sparse with information on what we are passing or seeing, but are also not interrupting every minute with meaningless drivel. And the sunset is impressive.
Thank you for joining us on the dolphin tour! 🐬 We're delighted you had a great time on the water. Oman’s coastline has so much more to offer — snorkelling and sunset cruises are also a must-try next time you visit.
We had a nice time in Muscat , Abdullah told us everything he needed to know about his country and brought it closer to us:))
We are glad that you have a good time with us. it's our pleasure to host you
The coordination was good, the pier has a couple coffee shops to get refreshments before the tour. The dhow was busy with a few different groups. The sunset was lovely and we saw a few spots from the water. Dates and drinks were offered and Captain pointed out the main spots. Otherwise it was a little boring.. maybe some form of entertainment could enhance the experience.
Thanks for your valuable comments. we value your feedback and will try to do something to make it more intersting.
The entire Ahlan Arabia Travel and Tourism team that organized our cruise was extremely efficient, courteous, welcoming, and well organized. We had a lovely time on the Omani Traditional Dhow Cruise -- Sunset and Muscat Coastal View trip. There were ample snacks and soft drinks on board, and we were able to all get good seats with pleasant views. The way the captain sailed the boat helped ensure that it was a relaxed and easy-going experience all around, without speeding or without the boat rocking, so nobody felt seasick. We were also pleased that despite our pick-up vehicle getting extremely delayed in traffic, and thus our arriving late at the pier (due to absolutely no fault of our own -- just a result of terrible Muscat traffic, which seems to plague the city at all hours), the tour company ensured that the boat would wait for us. The inclusion of the pick up and drop off in the ticket price made this good value-for-money.
We are glad that you have a good time with us. it's our pleasure to host you
