When we were staying in Dubai, we had an option to book this excursion. A day trip to Oman. What an amazing experience it was. The boat trip from Oman border to middle of the sea was so scenic. The boat staff who were Bangladeshis went out their way to accommodate us. They cooked home food for us guest. We did various things like snorkelling, speed boat, banana boat, quick get off at the beach, fishing. Sadly we didn’t get to see the dolphins as the tour company promised but that’s ok. Defo worth booking this if you’re bored of Dubai same routine.

Usman was my tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the city of Ras Al Khaimah. He was energetic and made the city tour more fun. I did not feel rushed at all and the tour lasted between 4-5 hours. I’d highly recommend booking a city tour through Safarak. Ask for Usman as your tour guide.

My tour (with guide Shakeeb) was absolutely fantastic! We hit all of the must-see stops and sights, plus some bonus surprises along the way. It was the perfect choice for a first day overview of Dubai’s gems. I’ve found that the city is best done by road and with someone who can fill you in on the little fascinating details. Shakeeb was full of fun facts and the extra touches he added made the tour feel tailored to me and my interests. I left knowing a lot more about Dubai, it’s customs, architecture and its beautiful people. The best part was getting a list of sights and neighborhoods I want to double-back and explore even further. A great way to fill out the rest of my stay. If you have a choice, I highly recommend this tour group!

We were picked up from our hotel in Ras Al Khaimah. We made a relatively quick and scenic trip east across the UAE to Dibba and boarded our Dhow. We were fortunate and the ship was not crowded, so we had a very personalized tour. It was an amazing day with clear skies, calm seas, and not too hot. The snorkeling was fair as the water was a bit murky, but overall the scenery of the trip was breathtaking. Our guides and the ship's crew were very professional, attentive, informative...and all-around great people. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
