ANYONE who has lived in the UAE for a while will be aware of the delights Six Senses Zighy Bay can offer.
Now the unique luxury retreat in the Musandam peninsula is taking its signature style on to the water for a different kind of vacation experience.
Six Senses Zighy Bay has unveiled the Dhahab, a beautifully restored Omani dhow boat.
Designed for superior sailing comfort, it is a 90ft seafaring vessel capable of cruising the spectacular Musandam fjords at a comfortable 10 knots.
The dhow was developed by the renowned resort, and its team of specialist designers, to provide a relaxed yet luxurious feel in tune with its roots at Zighy Bay.
