The Musandam region, separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates, is the northern most part of the Sultanate. The dramatic Musandam peninsula is perhaps one of the most scenically spectacular area in the Gulf. These spectacular fjords have given the area a second name "The Norway of Arabia”. The peninsula is mainly inhabited by the Shihuh, who are fishermen and herdsmen and are probably descended from the original inhabitants of northern Oman. Fishing is the peninsula's main industry with packing plants at al-Khasab and Bay'ah. Transportation is mostly by sea, since no roads cross the forbidding terrain.

Musandam - Khasab is very close to United Arab Emirates and easily access able by road for guest from United Arab Emirates.

Musandam - Khasab makes it very unique because of Spectacular Fjords, Natural dolphin, Coastal view, Tallest Mountain, Historical Telegraph & Seebi Island, bedouin villages in the Fjords & in the mountains.

Beautiful sea ride along the coast on a traditional wooden boat of medium size (maximum capacity of 20 people). There were six couples on the boat. Very good Service on board, pleasant crew, we saw many dolphins. The meal was very good, coffee or traditional Omani tea. Unlimited water and soda. Towels and snorkelling equipment provided. 2 stops to swim it is very nice to swim at the edge of the mountains beautiful landscapes.
