    The registration for this trip will close at 0:00hrs on Monday the 24th of May 2015.
    This is due to the fact that Visas to Oman’s Musandam Governerate, will have to be applied for, at least 4 days in advance.
    This will ensure the Dhow Cruise booking, too and is mandatory as Visa on arrival facility to Musandam has been discontinued for UAE residents for the past couple of years.
