Luxury Musandam Peninsula
Tours made for you

A welcoming port city, historic villages and beautiful fjords

Entirely cut off from the rest of Oman by the surrounding United Arab Emirates, the Musandam Peninsula extends into the Strait of Hormuz. Known locally as Ruus Al Jibal, it is not as crowded as other parts of the country when it comes to visitors, but it is most certainly among the most beautiful places in Oman. 

The main town of Khasab lies at the peninsula’s northern end. The welcoming port city is known for Khasab Fort with its crenellated turrets, a museum showcasing archeological items and local handicrafts as well as model wooden boats.  

Rugged peaks push upwards out of azure waters creating steep-sided fjords, traditional dhows dotting the shallows around the coast, with abundant snorkelling opportunities. Cruising these stunning waters is one of the best ways to fully appreciate the beauty of this region. Keep an eye out for pods of frolicking dolphins along the way.

Head inland and discover small Omani villages, farms and heritage sites in the mountains of Dibba. Explore on foot and learn about important cultural relics and tombs, some of which date back to the seventh millennium BC. 

Both the wilderness here and the pristine waters are largely untouched – offering you the opportunity to experience the natural beauty and wildlife as they have been for hundreds of years.
