Oman Cruises

The excitement and adventure in exploring exotic destinations of the world is one of the best things about any holiday. Today, travelers no longer only think of hotels and air travel when they are planning for long leisure vacations outside their country of residence. Hotels and air tickets have been replaced by the wide range of new spa resorts, adventure resorts and cruises that offer travelers more value as well as a guaranteed fun-filled time away. The Middle East destinations are coming up in a big way for cruise holidays, especially Oman cruises. In addition to being one of the most beautiful countries in the world, this exotic place is known for its friendly hospitality.

With the help of a developed travel and tourism industry, the government of the Sultanate is taking special measures to present the country to the world and welcome the ever-increasing inflow of tourists to its shores. The best way to get complete information about the various cruises that visit the shores of Oman is to get in touch with one of the travel agencies. Many cruises come to the shores of Muscat and Salalah for the kind of recreational amenities and fun activities these places have for people of all ages. With great sightseeing and shopping, Salalah has earned the name the ‘Garden City’ and the capital of Muscat houses the royal palace and a fascinating souq.

If you are already in the country and still want to experience the thrill of being on the serene blue waters of Oman, there are some good options available. You could book yourself on a Musandam overnight cruise starting from Khasab. This cruise takes you along the Fjords of Musandam, aboard a traditional Omani Dhow. Dhow cruises can be booked from a number of harbour areas throughout the country. These cruises vary in regards to the size of the Dhow and the duration. If you do not enjoy the water too much or get seasick, you can opt for a sunset cruise that lasts for only about a few hours and is a perfect start to a pleasurable evening on the amazingly lit streets of Muscat or Musandam.

Oman cruises are a great way to witness the magnificence of this wonderful country without the hassles of driving around from place to place. From the blue waters, marine life and textured mountains, to the many fun activities you can take advantage of, the country has efficient travel agencies to help you plan the holiday of your dreams, in this land that legendary poets called home. Plus, remember that these are the seas that Sinbad the sailor sailed on; it truly is the land of a thousand adventures.
