About Fujairah

Fujairah is the one emirate whose whole coast lies on the Gulf of Oman rather than the Arabian Gulf, with the Hajar Mountains rising behind it. Its clear water draws divers and snorkelers, and Dibba, at its northern end on the border with Oman, is where dhow cruises set out along the cliffs of the Musandam peninsula.

Getting there from Dubai
The Musandam Dibba trip includes a shared transfer from fixed pickup points in Deira and Bur Dubai. The Fujairah scuba dive meets on location in Fujairah.
A first dive
The Fujairah scuba dive needs no certification: a certified instructor leads it and all the equipment is provided. It takes about 3 hours and is for adults aged 18 and over.

Frequently asked questions

What happens on the Musandam Dibba trip?

A dhow cruise of 5 to 6 hours past the cliffs of the Musandam coast, with time to swim and snorkel and a chance to spot dolphins. A buffet lunch, soft drinks, fruit, tea and coffee are served on board, and life jackets and snorkel kits are provided.

How is the Khasab trip different from Dibba?

Khasab is a longer day, about 8 hours, on a dhow cruise to Khor Sham in the north of Musandam, with border assistance. An original passport valid for at least 6 months is mandatory, and the UAE exit and Oman entry fees are not included. Both trips include shared transfers from Deira and Bur Dubai.

What should I bring for the dive?

Comfortable swimwear and footwear. The scuba equipment is provided, and a certified instructor leads the dive.
