About Sheesa Beach Travel and Tourism

In 1980, Abdulla Mohammed Al Dhahouri, an Omani fisherman from Sheesa bay; a remote village in the Musandam, was approached by a group of divers asking to charter his Dhow. Abdulla agreed to take this group and continued to do so on occasional Fridays when requested, although his primary focus remained on his fishing.

As the word got around the diving community, demand for Abdulla’s fishing dhow was so great that it became necessary for him to set up a company and obtain a license. In 1994 Sheesa Beach Travel and Tourism was born and was the first company in Dibba to offer dhow cruises to tourists.

What was once a small operation with one converted fishing dhow has now become a thriving business with a fleet of six dhows, two divers speedboats and three service boats. Sheesa Beach Travel and Tourism is now co owned by Abdulla and his six sons, Saleh, Ibraham, Ahmed, Mohammed, Sulliman and Saeed.

The Al Dhahouri sons captain Sheesa’s Dhows, they are passionate about their business
and are the epitome of Omani hospitality.
