Tour Overview

Journey far beyond the city lights to experience Dubai’s best-kept offshore secret: Jazirat Al Qamar, famously known as Moon Island. Located 70 kilometers (29 nautical miles) offshore into the open Arabian Gulf, this uninhabited crescent-shaped sandbar offers true marine wilderness without a single building or crowd in sight. Departing at sunrise, your luxury vessel cruises beyond the commercial shipping lanes into crystal-clear turquoise waters. Arriving at the sandbar, the captain sets anchor alongside a dramatic drop-off reef where ankle-deep sandbanks meet deep blue waters brimming with marine life. Spend your day walking the pristine crescent beach, swimming in transparent shallows, snorkeling along the reef drop-off, or deep-sea fishing. Our crew prepares a fresh chef-style lunch on the shaded aft deck while you enjoy peaceful solitude and unforgettable sunset cruising on the return voyage.
