Embrace the scenic mountain beauty of the United Arab Emirates during this off-road safari to Omani Dibba.
Depart the pier via off-road vehicle for the scenic drive from the East Coast of the UAE to Omani Dibba. En route, a photo stop will be made at the Bidya Mosque, thought to be the oldest mosque in the UAE. Your drive will then continue into a part of Omani territory that is an enclave in the United Arab Emirates, and quite distinct. Upon arrival, you will drive through town, past the fort and on towards the beach, where you may see local fishermen at work.
Next, you will ascend the 3,280-foot Hajjar Mountains. Along the way, you will pass by small villages where seasonal crops are cultivated, and see spectacular canyons, steep, rugged winding tracks, deep gorges and terraced mountainsides. Upon arrival at the summit, a refreshment and photo stop will be made before starting your decent along the same route. After reaching the base of the mountain, you will proceed along the tarmac road during the return drive to the pier.
