Fishing

From Alhannah

Fishing trips on a dhow can be arranged through the tour operators. The prices vary, but through Arabian Adventures it is QR1500 for the boat, which will carry as many as 10 people. The trip is 4 hours long, starting at 9 a.m., and leaves from the dock near the Sheraton Hotel. (Park next to the statue of the Arabic coffee pot). They guarantee you will come home with at least one fish. It is advisable to call one week ahead to arrange for the trip, and to reconfirm the night before as the coast guard occasionally issues a “no boating” edict due to weather conditions.
