Check Out a Surfari with Aloha Arabia…

Many of us here in the UAE go home for the holidays, but why not instead use the time to learn how to surf and get closer to nature? To make it easier, the homegrown watersports company Fahrenheit Beachsports has curated specific tours and surf trips befittingly named ‘Aloha Arabia’.

Owner Carl de Villiers, an avid surfer himself, has been organizing these surf trips to local surfing hotpots in Oman for more than five years. He explains, “I visited Oman shortly after moving to the Emirates over 10 years ago and have fallen in love with this country with its rugged coastline, epic swells and amazing surf.” While surfing in the UAE is ideal for beginners, according to Carl, because Oman has a natural ground swell from the Indian Ocean, there are consistent waves over the monsoon season.

The Trips

Usually spread across three to five days, these bespoke surf trips can be tailor made specifically to suit the needs of the guests. The package includes surfboard rental, surf lessons, accommodation, transport, food and drinks, surf guiding up and down the coast, beach and social activities and even a visit to the local turtle conservation hatchery. These Surf Camps and tours have been operating for over five years now and Carl explains there was a demand for Surfaris, adding, “We saw the demand for people wanting to go on a ‘Surfari’, learn to surf, meet other people and have an affordable holiday right on our doorstep. There are a lot of expat surfers living in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar who also fly in and join us on Surfari and we often have a very mixed group of people, on all levels of surfing who love the beach and outdoor lifestyle. This makes our trips very interesting, enjoyable, and definitely something to add to the bucket list if you want to experience real surf here in the Middle East.”
