Description: Set sail on an extraordinary journey from Dubai’s spectacular skyline, spending a serene day at sea, before we pause to uncover Sur’s rich maritime heritage, desert magic and turquoise lagoons. In Muscat, peer into lively souks filled with gold and silver, then drift to Khor Fakkan’s rugged coastline and Khasab’s dramatic inlets, perfect for dolphin watching.
