Arabian Sea Safaris was established in 1996. In an increasingly commercialized and polluted world, the Sultanate of Oman, a stunning land with warm and welcoming people can truly be described as unique. Of course, Arabia has exercised its attraction since the time of the ancient, being described by travellers of 2000 years ago as Arabia Felix, 'Happy Arabia!'. And similarly, the Arabian Sea has long held a special place in man's affections, being the home of legendary figures.

From Sindbad to the Queen of Sheba, whose emissaries sailed its waters on her command, putting into Omani ports to barter for consignments of fabulous Frankincense (which is still produced today in the legendary land of Dhofar, in southern Oman), and which this fabled monarch sent as tribute to King Solomon.

And it is these waters of legend and romance that Mohamed Al Riyami, with the launch of his Arabian Sea Safaris, seeks to introduce to today’s traveller and in doing so, bring a new and important dimension to Oman's newest industry, tourism.
Each sea-safari will be personally planned by Mohamed Al Riyami, in order that every single voyage will be one of discovery, bringing his discerning clients to secret bays, inlets and virgin beaches.

The highest standards of safety are guaranteed and whether your own sea-safari lasts a morning, an afternoon or encompasses a whole day (or includes an overnight stop), respect for Oman's marine environment will be constant.

Arabian Sea Safari’s fleet of small marine crafts ensures that each voyage has a unique and individual atmosphere, enabling specialist interests to be catered for, with custom designed voyages if required, such as diving on Oman's tantalising reefs, studying the rich marine life or visiting remote coves embossed with a galaxy of sea shells. Or if you just wish to savour the tranquility long-lost to the wider world by sailing the royal blue waters of the Arabian Sea, with or without a fishing rod in your hands, then you are indeed most welcome to the world of Mohamed Al Riyami’s Arabian Sea Safaris and to an experience that will sail on in your memory long after your visit to the beautiful country has come to a close.

Oman, a land of majestic mountain ranges that rears skywards from the wilderness of rolling plains, where the fabled Arabian oryx roam, and billowing dunes with their austere, romantic beauty. A land where ancient forts command the horizon, in the shadow of which many a date orchard flourishes, while in the land beyond, the aristocratic Bedouin continues a lifestyle of living which, for so long, has captured the imagination, across the centuries, of writers and artists around the world. And in the port cities of Muscat and Salalah, long beloved by generations of seafarers, some of the finest souqs in all Arabia offer a cornucopia of delight, from gold, frankincense and myrrh to antique silver jewellery, camel bags, Bedouin blankets and Oman's justly famous rose water.

But the jewel in Oman's crown is its 1,700 kilometer-long coastline, with sprawling, empty, unpolluted beaches and aquamarine seas in which whales and dolphins leap and sport. Not forgetting to mention the sheer majesty of the Musandam, nature's citadel rising 1,800 meters out of the Arabian Sea, with its coves and bays untouched by man and where the music of the sea competes with that of choirs of sea birds. Oman, a land long lost to the international traveller, but which now beckons to the discerning, those ready for the experience of a lifetime.

All of the Arabian Sea Safaris' trips described are complete in themselves, but can be conveniently combined with a wide selection of other travel or tourism opportunities within the Sultanate of Oman, ranging from day trips to holiday packages, including land safaris, from a few days to several weeks.
