Everything You Need To Know About Musandam Dibba
Musandam Dibba is a gorgeous destination with the perfect itinerary.
Let this blog be your tour guide through Musandam Dibba — an exclave of Oman separated from it by the UAE.
Where is Musandam Dibba?
Dibba is a coastal area that is located in two different countries, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
It comprises three different regions that two different Emirates govern.
Dibba Al Fujairah is located in the Fujairah Emirates, Dibba Al-Hisn is located in the Sharjah Emirates, and Dibba Al-Baya is located in the Musandam Governorate of Oman.
Dibba Al-Fujairah
Situated within the mountains and overlooking the sea, Dibba Al-Fujairah beckons travelers to explore its rugged beauty.
As the largest of all the Dibbas and the second-largest city in the Fujairah Emirate, it offers a wealth of opportunities for adventure and relaxation.
Visitors from neighboring emirates and countries come to experience the magic of this place, where camping, beaches, and water adventures await.
Dibba Al-Hisn
Dibba Al-Hisn, though small, is a town with a rich history and culture. Its name, derived from the fish market and fortress, tells a story of resilience and strength.
The settlement of territorial disputes between Dibba Al-Hisn and Dibba Al-Baya is a testament to the enduring power of diplomacy and cooperation.
Dibba Al-Baya
Filled with breathtaking beauty, Dibba Al-Baya is the gateway to the Musandam Peninsula.
A journey through the border crossing from UAE to Oman to marvel at the stunning views along the way. With just a 2-hour drive from Dubai, Dibba in Oman is a must-visit destination that you should add to your bucket list.
What to do at Dibba Musandam?
A popular escape for the people of UAE, the Dibba Musandam is the perfect offbeat destination full of adventure and fun.
Associate Art Director at 365 Adventures, Ifrah went on the Dibba Musandam trip, she told us,
“I had no expectations ideas from Dibba Musandam as I’ve gone on so many dhow trips before. But, I guess this was a good thing! When you have no expectations, and you get the best of experiences, everything feels so much nicer!!!
Dibba Musandam indeed is a gem! Such beautiful mountains, great weather, and is loaded with activities.
Even though there is so much to do and try on the trip, it yet feels so relaxing cause you just have so much time. From snorkeling to fishing to speed boat rides. Everything is so thrilling!!
The best day getaway.”
1. Dhow Cruise
Kick off your Dibba Adventure by boarding a traditional Dhow Boat at the Dibba Port on the Musandam Dibba Sea Trip point.
On the Dhow, you will find yourself immersed in the Arabic experience thanks to the traditional Keshta setup and a delicious lunch.
Don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate the breathtaking scenery as we cruise along the tranquil waters on the dhow. Keep your eyes peeled for the majestic mountains, unique rock formations, and if we’re lucky, playful dolphins jumping out of the water!
2. Kayaking
For the adventure seekers, we have kayaking! Away from the bustling crowd, just you and your paddle splashing away.
You’re going to love taking it slow and enjoying every moment with each paddle stroke.
If you find yourself up for more adventure, you can also check out the amazing limestone caves — either by kayaking or taking a fun ride on a jet ski boat. Sounds like a blast, right?
3. Banana Boat Ride
Now we have my personal favorite, Banana Boat Rides, an exciting water adventure for both friends and/or family!
Picture this — a boat attached to a jet ski, and you sitting on a banana boat, being zoomed across the sea at high speed. Can you feel the excitement?
4. Swimming
After the fun Banana Boat ride, the boat will tip over into the refreshing water, but don’t worry one bit — you’ll be wearing life jackets to keep you afloat throughout the whole experience.
Feel free to swim as much as you like or simply float on your back and take in the beautiful view of the sky. During the trip, you’ll have plenty of time to swim and sunbathe at the beach.
5. Snorkeling
We highly recommend snorkeling at Musandam Dibba.
Trust me, it’s an experience you don’t want to miss! Even if you’re not a strong swimmer, no worries — we’ve got you covered with masks, fins, and life jackets.
You’ll be able to catch a glimpse of the stunning corals and marine life hiding beneath the water and rocks. So what are you waiting for? Let’s go!
6. Fishing
Fun fact: Dibba Harbor is the second-largest shipping port in the Sultanate of Oman.
If you’re a fishing enthusiast, you should definitely try it during the Dibba Musandam tour.
Don’t worry about bringing your own gear, we’ll provide you with handline fishing tools during your trip.
