a memorable evening - The view of Muscat from a traditional boat was amazing. We also enjoyed changing colors of the sky and the sea, which were stunning. The crew and staff were all professional and friendly.

Sunset view over mountains and muscat - Great view of the coast, wonderful sunset over Muscat. You see an 04, fanciest hotel, a couple of government buildings. You get a sense of how severe these mountains are. Comfortable upper and lower deck seating. Water and soda and minimal snacks, including dates and peanuts are offered.

Lovely Sunset Tour - We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset tour! The tour company reached out within 24 hours of making the reservation to confirm and offered to arrange pick up and drop off at our hotel, even though it wasn’t one of the hotels listed as an option when I made the reservation. We were picked up promptly by the driver and delivered to the pier, where the tour operators were waiting to check us in and direct us to our dhow. Water soft drinks, and some small snacks were available during the tour, along with delicious Omani coffee & dates. The tour operator paused at various landmarks to point them out and share some information about them. Sunset was gorgeous, and we will definitely be recommending this tour to friends that visit Muscat!

Enjoyable and relaxing - The driver picked up on time and very pleasant. Even explained what certain buildings were as we drove. The dhow was clean and the staff excellent. Very helpful offering snacks drinks and information. At sunset we stopped put on all the lights and just watched the sun set. Then return to go back to the hotel.

Amazing views, beautiful Dhow, friendly and knowledgeable crew! - The scenery was beautiful, the ship was very nice and getting on board was very easy. We were served dates, Omani coffee, nuts, and drinks while onboard. The young men who passed out the snacks and drinks were very friendly and polite. They took the time to tell us about the landmarks, and one pointed out a rock island in the shape of a face. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and will take the same tour with the same crew next time I am in Oman. On a scale of 1-10 the tour was a 12! Don't hesitate. Book it now, you won't regret it!

Sunset boat trip - Nice trip, but the commentary could have been more extensive. I guess language was the issue. The sky was very hazy, but there was a fairly decent sunset for the last ten minutes.
