A fun way to see another country! - A great way to see another country while in Dubai! It’s also a scenic tour through two other Emirates. It’s definitely a fun and relaxing day. The crew on the boat were wonderful hosts.

Highly recommended tour - Excellent tour. Highly recommended. The people were very professional and everything advertised was provided. The only negative, out of control of the tour operators, was Customs. 1 1/2 hours to enter the country, and 1 1/2 hours to leave, adding time to a long day.

Amazing Experience - This tour was amazing. Everything went so smoothly. Everyone involved was professional and knowledgeable. The trip was so fun. The banana boats, speedboat, and swimming and beach were so great. Lunch was plentiful and delicious. Oman was beautiful and the operators made the border crossing painless and quick. Highly recommend this tour!

Peaceful day - Here’s the English translation of your text: --- Yesterday we went on a Musandam trip, and we liked it. They took us by bus to Oman. Everyone should check in advance whether they can cross the border (depending on nationality, Dubai visa, residence permit, etc. – the organizer arranges everything). The boats depart from a small port. This trip is not recommended with small, very active children, because the boat doesn’t have high railings, etc. The boat was clean, tidy, and appropriate. They provided water, tea, coffee, and boxed juice throughout. Lunch was delicious. You can order grilled shrimp for an extra 35 dirhams, but even without that there’s meat and fish included in the basic price, enough to fill you up. On the tour, most of the participants were Russians. The tour guide explained all necessary information in English and Russian. At the border you can use the restroom, but usually there is no toilet paper (bring tissues with you). The boat staff were kind to us and helped with everything. At the end you can give them a tip – if you can, please do so. They are not wealthy people and they work hard. <3

You should go over month if you can! - The staff was wonderful. I really appreciate the communication to ensure I had all documents, confirmation of pickup and time. I had the best time on the excursion. There were so many water activities available. I only wish the excursion was longer because I was so relaxed and had so much fun!

Good family experience in Oman - Great experience. Enjoyed the views. Would recommend going in cooler weather. Temps were at 106 the day we were there. Bus and boat ride was good but long ride from downtown Dubai. Enjoyed seeing places outside of Dubai and enjoyed visiting another country.

LONG Bus Ride - Note, this is not a ten-hour trip from Dubai. We spent over 13 hours from pickup to drop off, with 4+ of those hours spent on a bus, each way. The border crossing took over an hour in each direction as well. The duration was not well communicated when booking the trip, and there was a general lack of communication from the guide/organizers during the trip. The peninsula was pretty, and the snorkeling and boat activities were fun, but the four hours on the boat were not worth the eight hours round-trip to get there and back. Unless you are very keen on visiting the peninsula, there are likely similar options that are closer.
