Why this trip
A dhow glides through a fjord, dolphins surface beside the bow, and the rock walls drop steeply into the water: Musandam in the north of Oman is called the Norway of Arabia, and the comparison holds. The peninsula is rugged land with a quiet coast. From Khasab you take dhow trips with local operators through the khors, as the sea inlets are called. Khor Najd is a viewpoint over a fjord from which you can survey the coast.
Snorkelling and swimming are part of the day trips, and some bays can be reached only by boat and are deserted. The catalogue lists Six Senses Zighy Bay, Atana Khasab Hotel and Atana Musandam Resort. The best time to travel is between October and March, in summer it gets hot. Musandam has no neighbouring destinations in the catalogue, the region is an exclave and is better suited as an addition to a trip in Oman or in the Emirates.
Families with children benefit from short boat days, couples from the stillness in the evening. In a video call, Private Islands plans how you travel there and how long you stay.
