Hud Hud, Dhow Ibra

Ibra (meaning needle in Arabic) is an authentic wooden dhow that has been given a meticulous makeover, both internally and externally, by local artisans. Hud Hud have looked to showcase the rich heritage of local craftmanship and the traditions of this seafaring people. From furnishing and decorating her with local materials, to working with villages along the coast and the fishing community, Hud Hud’s commitment to sustainable tourism is evident throughout.

With the cabins below deck, and airconditioned lounge and two upper decks for relaxing and al fresco dining, Ibra is spacious and extremely comfortable.

Hud Hud have carefully curated their routes to showcase the beauty of the Omani coastline. Cruise around the al Dimaniyyat Islands Nature Reserve, an archipelago of nine islands along the coast of Wilayat al Seeb and Wilayat Barka. Reachable only by boat, this unique ecosystem of limestone rocks and coral reefs, is home to nesting turtles and a myriad of indigenous and migratory birds. The surrounding waters host several species of dolphin and humpback whales.

Further along the coast are the red sandstone cliffs of Bandar Khayran, where mangrove fringed lagoons and tiny sandy coves with azure waters are an ideal spot for snorkelling. And if time is no object, then a slow sail all the way to Dubai could be part of your intineary.
