Departing from Dubai, head South along the Arabian coast towards Oman, and the capital city of Muscat. Famed for its antiquity, dating back to the 1st Century AD, the city is dotted with 16th Century Portuguese forts such as A Jalali and Mirani which tower over the harbour. Today the city is a mix of modern buildings, with the marble Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, and the ancient buildings.

For the final day of your cruise, return to Dhabai. The city perches on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf, where guests can plunge into mild, turquoise waters. Jet skiing, parasailing or snorkelling, there is no limit to the watersports possibilities in Dubai. Spend your day experiencing moments of pure magic on the crystal clear shores of Dubai, using the ocean as your playground with the city’s stunning backdrop watching on. To end a yacht cruise to remember, spend your final evening in the UAE watching the sunset from the world-famous Kite Beach, where kites sink and dip in front of the amber glow of the sun setting.
