A yacht cruise is more than just eating an oyster for the first time. It offers travellers a breath-taking view of the picturesque Arabian sea coupled with the experience of a lifetime exclusively catered for your needs. Hiring a yacht is not so expensive if you are prepared to put in your time. In the article, we’ve listed three exotic or not so popular tourist destinations that can be accessed with a cheap boat rental Dubai.
Moon Island
Unless you are willing to swim 70km, get ready to take your chartered yacht to the exotic Moon Island. One of the top three ‘must visit the islands’ in Dubai. This crescent moon shaped island is not just famous for its distinguished shape, the tourist attractions are just what the curious mind needs. Snorkelling and scuba diving can be done from your chartered yacht on this oddly shaped island. The world beneath the surface can be seen clearly because of the beautiful blue ocean. The sandy beaches are breathtakingly beautiful if there are tourists that prefer to view the ocean from the shore.
Oman
The capital of Oman’s Dhofar region is known as Salalah and it is alive with possibility. India is close to Oman and its monsoon weather is carried over to create the perfect growing conditions for coconut, banana and papaya trees. Another beautiful site to see, rich with culture and history, is the Land of Frankincense Museum. For those beach bums craving to get away from hustle and bustle of it all, the Al Mughsail Beach is filled with peace and quiet. There are no markets or café stalls to prevent you from appreciating the quiet atmosphere. If the beach is not enough, wait for the turtles to lay eggs on Oman’s beach and watch the magic happen. Five of the seven endangered turtle species are known to visit this beautiful island throughout the year. You can rent an eco-tent equipped with a mini-fridge and television while going on turtle excursions during the day.
Sir Bani Yas
This is the biggest natural island in the country and it is for the collection of exotic wildlife it houses. The island is created to keep the region’s endangered wildlife safe and therefore a ban has been placed on hunting here. The Arabian oryx which was once close to extinction in the wild has literally regained new life, because of this island’s superior wildlife protection scheme, currently, there are over 400 of them at this park. The hotels nearby are available to be booked for a couple of nights on this amazing island. The other activities are hiking, archery, water sports and even mountain biking. There are 42 archaeologist sites on the area that have been uncovered and can be seen during the cultural walks.
