We arrived at the Khasab harbour and boarded a traditional Omani dhow for our full day cruise into the spectacular, scenic and tranquil fiord, the Khor as Shimm and the longest fiord in the Musandam peninsula.
We observed the coastal villages as we cruised along and enjoyed interacting with the playful dolphins as we sailed along. We anchored at the famous Telegraph Island, which was a repeat station built in 1864 by the British to connect Bombay (India) with mainland Britain by an underwater and overland telegraphic cable passing via Basra in Iraq and Turkey.
Here we enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the pristine and calm waters of the fiord.
Lunch and refreshments were served onboard and snorkeling equipments and towels were provided on the dhow.
