What to expect

During your *Private Dhow Cruise*, you’ll enjoy an exclusive experience aboard a traditional wooden dhow, reserved only for you and your group. After boarding, the dhow cruises along Doha’s beautiful coastline, offering relaxing views of the city skyline and the open sea. You’ll then head toward *Safliya Island*, where the dhow will anchor for a *swimming stop*. Guests can swim in the clear waters, relax on deck, take photos, or simply enjoy the peaceful island surroundings before cruising back. This option is perfect for families, friends, celebrations, or anyone looking for a calm and private sea experience.

Alternatively, you can choose a *Private Dhow Fishing Trip*. After setting sail, your experienced captain will take you to known fishing spots in Qatar’s waters. You’ll enjoy fishing at your own pace while relaxing on the dhow and taking in the sea views. This option is ideal for beginners and experienced anglers alike, combining traditional boating with an authentic fishing experience in a private and comfortable setting.

Both options offer privacy, flexibility, and a memorable way to enjoy Qatar’s waters. ⛵
