📖 About
Ask a Khasab boatman for a beach and Seebi is the likely answer: a sandy islet in the strait's clear water where charters drop parties for a castaway interlude — white sand, snorkel-fringe rocks, and traffic consisting of passing dhows and the odd turtle.
It's not on standard cruise itineraries, which is the appeal: private charters and negotiated drops make it the fjord coast's own desert-island fantasy, an hour's arrangement away.
⭐ Highlights
- A drop-off desert island in the strait
- White sand and snorkel fringes
- Passing-dhow traffic only
- The private-charter special
💡 Insider Tips
- Negotiate the drop/pickup time clearly — and firmly.
- Full sun, zero shade: umbrella and water mandatory.
- Bundle into a private dhow charter for best value.
