Why this trip

Steep rock faces that fall straight into the water, and between them a dhow moving slowly through a fjord: Musandam, the Norway of Arabia, is meant for travellers who value stillness more than programme. The occasion can be an anniversary or a trip you treat yourself to after long work. Excursions from Khasab lead on the water into the bays, and with some luck dolphins accompany the boat. The Khor Najd shows itself from the viewpoint as a cut in the mountains, and the View Point Khor Najd is a place for a photo that does not look like a postcard.

Boat trips from Khasab can be booked through local providers. From October to March the weather is mild, and the heat of summer stays away. Jabal Akhdar in the highlands and Salalah in the south are further destinations in Oman that can be combined into a larger trip. Because Musandam is remote as an exclave, the journey needs preparation and a plan that contains buffers.

Once in a Lifetime discusses with you in the video call how many days the fjord gets and what the link to Oman looks like.
