Dubai Offshore Sailing Club organise the Dubai to Muscat Yacht Race. The race is 360 NM with the course taking boats from the relatively shallow waters of the Arabian Gulf, passing through the famous Strait of Hormuz, and into the deep waters of the Indian Ocean, with the final leg taking a south easterly route across the Gulf to Muscat, the capital city of the Sultanate of Oman. The race was first held in 1992 and has taken place annually since with only a few exceptions.
