MARHABALIVE THE STORIES YOU’D LOVE TO TELL

Discover Musandam on board a luxurious traditional Omani dhow, and cruise the

iconic routes of ancient Arabian mariners, who sailed through the Gulf of Oman

and Strait of Hormuz seeking trade and fortune. Witness the beauty of the

Musandam fjords, quaint fishing villages and crystal clear azure waters of

one of the world’s most famous dive sites, set against the dramatic and rugged

backdrop of the Al Hajar Mountains.

DHAHAB WAS DESIGNED AND HANDCRAFTED IN 2013 to reflect Omani sailing dhows famously used in the region centuries ago.

Dhahab means ‘gold’ in Arabic, and the vessel is indeed reminiscent of the

golden age of sailing, yet is fitted out with all the modern comforts. From bow

to stern, this beautifully carved cruiser is furnished in a relaxed artisan style,

specifically handmade to complement the villa décor at Six Senses Zighy Bay.

COMFORTABLY ACCOMMODATING UP TO SIX GUESTS, Dhahab offers a well-appointed spacious

king bed cabin and two twin bed cabins on the lower-ground deck. You will indeed feel like royalty in the

king bed cabin, which is furnished with a large bathroom equipped with an oval bathtub, moonlight windows,

spacious shower room, twin vanities, writing desk, and a lounging sofa in a reading corner that can be set-up for

an additional guest.

HUG THE COVES AND ENJOY THE REFUGE OF SILENCE along the glistening waters

of Haffa, Sanat, Lima, Khor Kabahl and Khor Habaleen. High above ground, the Al Hajar

Mountain Range, one of the few places on the planet where earth’s mantle has broken

through, showcases green ophiolites, which are part of the earth’s crust, visible from the

surface. Deep below the waters, the Gulf of Oman is one of the most famous dive sites in the

world, a haven for sea creatures and thousands of colorful corals.

WHETHER RELAXING ON THE UPPER DECKS, enjoying a movie in the private lounge, sunbathing, swimming, kayaking or snorkeling, the crew will ensure

a seamless experience throughout your voyage. Bespoke diving experiences for all levels are available upon

request, and wellness massages may be booked when required from the resort to soothe weary muscles after

a day of adventure. For diving and wellness massages, please refer to the Terms and Conditions.

ITINERARY

DAY 1Your odyssey begins as the early dew greets the morning

and after a refreshing breakfast at the Spice Market. From

Zighy Marina, Dhahab will cruise to Haffa and Sanat Bays.

Listen to the legends of local folklore from the experienced

crew as you take in the white limestone rock and discover the

myth of the dinosaur footprint. Leaving Sanat, you’ll cruise

along Lima Bay to anchor in Khor Kabahl for lunch where

you’ll spend the afternoon swimming, kayaking, snorkeling,

fishing or taking a leisurely speedboat tour along the

majestic fjords.

After a sumptuous dinner on deck prepared by your

private chef, there’s just time for a little stargazing before

your overnight stay.

DAY 2Wake up to sun salutations during a morning yoga session

on the upper deck. Book a bespoke dive experience to

explore the colorful corals and communicate with the various

sea creatures at one of the world’s most upcoming dive

sites for both beginners and advanced divers. And after all

that activity, why not request a wellness massage to ease

your weary muscles? An experienced Six Senses Spa Zighy

Bay therapist will be escorted from the resort to you via

speedboat. You’ll also have plenty of leisure time to enjoy

swimming or fishing. For Yoga, wellness massages and diving,

please refer to the Terms and Conditions.

DAY 3After a delicious breakfast, you’ll leave for Khor Habaleen

bay, passing quaint fishing villages along the way and

enjoying the fresh breeze of Musandam to keep you cool as

you sunbathe on the upper decks. Learn about local culinary

traditions with a cookery class, and relax over a gourmet

lunch before cruising back to Zighy Marina for Six Senses

Zighy Bay.
