Sample Itinerary

Dhahab operates a classic 2 night / 3 day cruise from Six Senses Zighy Bay that leaves after breakfast on Day One and heads out to Haffa and Sanat Bays before anchoring in Khor Kabahl for lunch. Spend the afternoon swimming, kayaking, water skiing, snorkeling, fishing or taking a leisurely speedboat tour along the majestic Musandam fjords. Dinner is prepared by your private chef. Staying in Khor Kabahl, spend the day at leisure, perhaps enjoying some spa treatments or a yoga class on deck.
