Musandam Day Trip

If breath-taking scenery, pre-historic mountains dropping into the mountains and a rich underwater world is your passion – join us on a trip to Dibba, a small town on the Musandam peninsula, the most Northern part of the Sultanate of Oman, where we will board a traditional Arabic ‘dhow’ and sail northwards.

We will see tiny villages jammed between the mountains and the sea, we will snorkel in beautiful coves and if we are lucky enough – also may be race along with dolphins in one if the bays.

On the way back, we will make an attempt at hand line fishing and you might get lucky and catch a barracuda.

You will later spend many evenings telling your friends about your adventure at the land of the fjords.(Lunch and all equipment is included, original passports must be brought along).

Tour Highlights

Note, if you are staying in other Emirates, you will need to contact us for a custom quote.

For sharing trips, we can only do pick ups from Hotels.

Important note about going to Oman.

YOU WILL NOT BE ACTUALLY crossing the border, i.e there will be no stamp placed in your passport, nor your visit visa CLOSED. Passport will only be checked for identity purposes.

There is a ‘day permit’ which is basically given to you for the tour.

You will need your original passports with you. Bringing any alcohol during this trip is STRICTLY forbidden.

Note: for UAE Resident Visa Holders, regardless of the nationality we need 3 Business Days to process the day permit for which a passport & visa page copy is required.

This DOES not apply for TOURIST Visa holders who are given the day permit ON ARRIVAL, without any advance actions required.

Another important note: this is how the logistics are in Dibba, i.e: the Eastern Coast of Musandam Entry Point, from ‘Khasab’ (Western Coast) no such arrangement exists and entry is conducted on a proper Omani border where your passport will get stamp and you will be legally entering Oman and thus returning.

In about 10 minutes after crossing the border you will arrive in Dibba port which is primarily a fishing village/port/market. You will board the ‘Dhow’ which is a traditional Arabic vessel that has been refurbished for Tourism purposes.

The Boat has 2 decks, an upper deck with Sun Chairs/Beds and the lower deck is more empty with Arabic cushions. There is a washroom & shower onboard.

You will be sailing northwards along the Musandam Peninsula with the mountain fjords going straight into the Ocean. The coastline is scattered with little lagoons that are sometimes still in habited by local residents.

Approximately an hour after departing from the port our boat will arrive at a selected lagoon where the boat will anchor for approximately 2.5 hours.

The lagoon is surrounded by mountains and has a beached lagoon.

Swimming & Snorkelling

From 13.00 – 14.30 we provide free time for swimming & snorkeling. There is a coral reef in the lagoon with some decent snorkeling opportunities depending on the visibility and weather conditions.

Guests are welcome to swim directly of the Dhow – there is a ladder for getting on and off the boat.

There will also be a speed boat at our disposal which can take guests on shore to swim from a beach. There are 2 options – a more deserted beach and a beach nearby some local residents who we are well acquainted with and if you are lucky they will show you about their survival and heritage traditions that have enabled them to survive in such difficult weather conditions.

LUNCH IS SERVED ONBOARD

A buffet lunch will be served on board at 14.30 along with some soft drinks & tea/coffee.

At 15.30 we will pull up the anchor and push off from the lagoon and slowly start making our way back to the port. On the way back we will stop at a few spots known for fishing & do some ‘hand-line’ fishing – a way in which the local fishermen have been using for decades to catch fish in this area.

Common catch is barracuda & hamour (a local fish).

We will berth the Dhow, disembark and go back into the vehicles and begin our journey back to Dubai or Sharjah.

Musandam from Dubai road trip guide: 15 best places to visit and things to do in Musandam

In this post, I focus on the Musandam-Khasab area. This northwest side of the Peninsula offers the widest range of activities and attractions in Musandam. Meanwhile, Musandam-Dibba on the eastern side is mostly visited for Zighy Bay Resort, overnight diving, and dhow cruise trips to Lima village.

Where exactly is Musandam in Oman? 

It often comes as a surprise to many travelers that Musandam actually belongs to Oman but is completely enclosed within the borders of the UAE.  Projecting into the strait of Hormuz at the northernmost part of the Arabian Peninsula, Musandam is bordered by Ras Al Khaimah Emirate from the west side and the Sharjah Emirate exclave from the east side of the UAE. 

It is relatively easy to go for a day trip from Dubai to Musandam , making it one of the most beloved weekend getaways for UAE residents. It takes only a couple of hours of driving from Dubai before you cross the UAE- Oman border in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate, and appear in a completely different world.

The scenery transforms instantly from an industrial dusty highway to one of the most scenic coastal roads you can imagine.

You will be driving a perfectly smooth Khasab highway winding between soaring rugged orange hue cliffs and unspoiled seaside. Every now and then you will see traditional low-rise pastel-colored villages and old forts nestled at the foothills of the mountainside. You may find yourself wanting to stop quite often as the road offers countless scenic viewpoints and beach breaks.

Why is Musandam worth visiting? 

The Musandam Peninsula is one of the most spectacular destinations in the Middle Eas t. Musandam is a must-visit for its gorgeous landscapes composed of beautiful wild beaches and mighty mountains, as well as abundant marine wildlife. If you are travelling to Dubai, or live in the UAE, make sure to visit Musandam at least for a day. That being said, driving Khasab coastal road alone is worth the journey. 

IMPORTANT: Going to Musandam Khasab involves a UAE-Oman border crossing. Therefore, a passport and visa (for tourists and UAE residents) are essential (more on the border crossing details later in this post). 

How many days in Musandam?

Although the majority of visitors choose to go only for a day from Dubai (UAE), you can easily spend 2 days in Musandam or even longer . There are plenty of amazing outdoor sights and things to do in Musandam ranging from popular dhow cruises, wild beaches, snorkeling, and diving, to hiking, off-roading, and camping in the Musandam mountains, as well as historical places to explore in this secluded peninsula of Oman. 

The best time to visit Musandam

The best time to go to Musandam is October to March. The weather temperatures are lower, making it pleasant to stay outdoors.

You can still visit Musandam during the shoulder season which is March-April or September. However, it going to be quite hot, humid, and hazy, with temperatures hitting above 35 degrees Celsius during midday.

June to August are the hottest months with the weather heating up to over 40 degrees Celsius. Thus, it is not advisable to travel to Musandam in the summer.

Instead, you can look up for a perfect opportunity to escape the heat in the Middle East by heading to Salalah, south of Oman.

Where to stay in Musandam

Unless you are planning on overnight wild camping in the Peninsula which is a legal and very common activity in Oman, accommodation options in Musandam are very limited. You can only find less than 10 hotels in the town of Khasab on the northern side of the Peninsula. Meanwhile, on the eastern side, the only accommodation is Six Senses Luxury Resort which is mostly visited as a retreat destination.

The best hotel choices in Musandam, Khasab for slightly different budgets:

• Atana Musandam Resort – located in the town of Khasab, close to the fort and the harbor, this hotel is probably the most luxurious option in the area, yet for a very reasonable price. This hotel offers cozy rooms with a sea or pool view. Click here for prices and availability.
• Atana Khasab Resort – is another great accommodation option near Bassa Beach. The hotel is perched on a rock face and boasts fantastic views of the sea and the peninsula. Breakfast is also included in the price. Click here for prices and availability.
• Esra Hotel Apartment – offers 1 or 2-bedroom apartments with a kitchen- a great choice for a longer stay with friends or family in Musandam. Click here for prices and availability.
• Ahlam Musandam Villa – basic but clean rooms in a privately owned villa run by a friendly and helpful owner. We stayed here once for a couple of nights and loved it. Choose this place if you are not planning on spending any time indoors at all. Click here for prices and availability.

How to get to Musandam from Dubai by road

There are two land entrances-border crossings from UAE to Musandam: 

• Musandam (Khasab) from Ras AL Khaimah through the al Dhara border.
• Musandam Dibba from Fujeirah/Sharjah exclave through the Dibba checkpoint.

IMPORTANT: for the scenic road trip along the Khasab coastal road, you must enter Musandam from Ras al Khaimah emirate. You cannot drive from Dibba-Fujeirah to Khasab (more on that later). 

Musandam from Dubai by car 

The most convenient and exciting way is to self-drive to Musandam. You will have the freedom to stop along the beautiful coastline and visit attractions outside Khasab town. 

Since the majority of visitors are coming to Musandam from Dubai, I will use it as a starting point. However, you can drive to Musandam from any other Emirate of the UAE.

Driving from dubai to musandam (khasab) .

When driving from Dubai to Khasab (the regional capital town of Musandam), take Mohamed bin Zayed Road E311 all the way to the end of Ras Al Khaimah Emirate. It is literally a straight way on the highway to the border. 

It takes approximately 3 hours to drive from Dubai to Khasab: 2 hours to reach the border, around 30min for crossing the Al Dhara border post, and another 30-40 minutes to Khasab. If you are coming from Abu Dhabi, add another hour to your driving time. 

Note: border crossings may take significantly longer on weekends and public holidays. The visa and border procedures are explained in detail below in this post.

Getting from Dubai to Musandam by tour

Many visitors to the UAE opt for one-day or overnight camping trips using organized tours departing from Dubai. This option will suit those of you who do not have your own transport. Some of the tour companies offer pick-up from the hotel service and some have a designated meet-up point in Dubai. 

An easier way is to choose a tour that offers a pick-up service so you do not need to hire a taxi to the meet-up point.

These Musandam tours are recommended by UAE visitors and have hotel pick-up options :

• Musandam Khasab day trip from Dubai with classic dhow cruise through Arabian Fjords, dolphin watching, and lunch. Click here to check reviews, prices, and availability.
• Musandam Khasab from Dubai day trip including traditional dhow cruise through the fjords and lunch on the boat. Click here for prices and availability.

Getting to Khasab, Musandam by public bus

Unfortunately, there is no direct public bus service available from Dubai or anywhere in the UAE that can take you all the way to Khasab, Musandam. The furthest you can get by bus from Dubai is Ras Al Khaimah bus station. Then you would have to hire a taxi to Khasab. This option would not be sensible for visiting Musandam from Dubai as it is complicated, time-consuming, and costly. 

Getting to Musandam from Oman’s mainland

You can visit Musandam from Oman by car. If driving from Muscat, you will have to first enter UAE from the Al Wajajah border in Hatta or Khatmat Malaha border on the East coast of the Gulf of Oman.

Musandam Al Dhara (Khasab) Border Crossing Procedure

Arrival to Musandam

When arriving at the UAE-Musandam border you will first pass the UAE checkpoint. If you are not a GCC citizen, you must first visit the departure hall, show your passport, pay an exit fee of 35 AED per person, and get a UAE exit stamp. You will be also given a small sheet of paper which you must show at the UAE checkpoint. This piece of paper is your exit fee payment confirmation. 

The next step is the Oman border post crossing. Again, you must park your car and visit the arrival hall to show your passport and get an Oman entry stamp for electronic visa holders. Or get a visa on arrival (you must check in advance if your passport is applicable for it).

Once your passport is stamped, head to the checkpoint, show your passport and proceed to the car inspection section. 

Musandam border control officer will inspect the interior of your car and will give you a small sheet of stamped paper which you will have to show at the last checkpoint before entering Oman. After that, welcome to Musandam! 

Border procedure on the way back to Dubai, UAE

When leaving Musandam your first stop will be at the same Oman arrival/departure hall where you received your Oman visa. Here you will have to show your passport and get an exit stamp.

Next, you will drive through an x-ray gate which will scan your car (no stopping there).

Then you will have to park your car and head to the arrival hall on the UAE border side for a passport check and entry stamp. You will get another sheet of paper, which you have to give to the officer at the car inspection point.

Proceed further to the car inspection point, get the small paper stamped, and proceed to the final checkpoint to hand it to the officer. After that, welcome back to the UAE! 

Visiting Musandam through the Dibba border

Dibba border is located on the east side of Musandam, in Dibba town, an exclave of Sharjah emirate. This border shall be used if you are going for a staycation to Six Senses Resort in Zhigy Bay, or if you are taking one of the dhow cruises in Dibba Oman, or any other tour in the area. 

The Dibba border is more like a checkpoint than an actual border. If you are visiting Musandam for the above-mentioned purposes then you will not need an Oman visa. 

The hotel or tour operator will be able to provide you with a permit to enter Dibba, Oman. 

Note that you should not attempt driving to Musandam through the Dibba side over the Wadi Bih. It is an off-road that requires a 4WD vehicle and also it is not permitted for ex-pats of UAE or foreigners. Only UAE citizens and Omanis can use that road. 

Nonetheless, if you are planning on hiking in Wadi Bih independently you can do so. We entered Dibba border a day before it was shut for lockdown back in 2020. It was the only border open at that time and we used it to visit Musandam. Originally, we planned to go to Khasab, but since the Al Dhara border was already closed at that time, we ended up hiking in Wadi Bih, camped, and came back hours before lockdown started. We did have Oman visit visa though, and it might be required if you are not using tour operators or hotel services. 

15 Best Things to Do in Musandam , Oman

Here you will find the best places to visit and things to do in Musandam.

1. Sail through Arabian Fjords in a traditional dhow cruise in Musandam

Sailing Arabian Fjords in a traditional dhow boat is an absolute must-do activity in Musandam allowing you to truly appreciate the beauty of the peninsula. In fact, most of the visitors are specifically coming for the boat tour in Musandam as it is the best way to see beautiful khors – inlets that characterize the Arabian Fjords landscape. 

There are plenty of tour companies to join for a half-day, full-day, and even overnight cruise experience. The sailing-off point for all cruises is Khasab Harbor. 

The route and activities on a dhow tour are essentially almost the same- cruising around the fiords with 1 or 2 stops for swimming and snorkeling in the pristine waters, spotting the dolphins, lunch, and refreshments along the way. 

You will be sailing in a traditional open-deck boat shaded with a roof cover.  Some of the boats are multi-level which is great for slightly elevated views. Decorated with traditional textiles and pillows for lounging, those old dhows are also very photogenic. Many of them are still used for finishing throughout Oman. 

I would recommend joining a full-day tour for a more relaxed experience. Moreover, if you are doing a full-day cruise, you can also request to be taken for a short hike “between two seas” for panoramic views of the fjords! This has to be prearranged as you will be picked up from the dhow and transported by the speedboat for a short hike. I haven’t done this hike yet, but somebody posted amazing pictures on Instagram. I asked the person if they had to pay extra, but they confirmed that drop-off for a short hike was included in their dhow cruise rate.

Booking dhow cruise in advance is recommended for the winter months and on the weekends. You have two options to do the cruise: 1. Arrive in your own car to Khasab and take join the tour from there. 2. Join an organized tour from Dubai with transportation included. 

If you are wondering which dhow tour to take, here are suggestions for well-rated tours available to book online: 

• Full-day dhow cruise from Khasab . This tour has a badge of excellence and includes all the must-sees on the cruise with lunch. Click here to check full details, prices, and availability.
• Full-day dhow cruise tour in Musandam Khasab with pick up from Dubai: This well-rated Musandam tour includes Dubai hotel pick up with lunch. Click here to check full details, prices, and availability.
• Half-Day Dhow cruise from Khasab: This 3-hour dhow cruise from Khasab includes soft drinks, tea, and water, as well as snorkeling gear. It would suit those of you who are in Musandam just for a day and want to have more time to combine more activities in the Peninsula. Click here for full details, prices, and availability.
• Overnight dhow cruise with camping experience: this is a unique way to experience the Musandam Peninsula. This tour includes lunch, dinner, and breakfast, as well as all campsite equipment. Click here for more details, prices, and availability.

2. Hit the beach: where to find Musandam’s best beaches. 

Musandam peninsula is dotted with some insanely beautiful beaches. Thus swimming at least at one of those wonderful beaches is one of the best things to do in Musandam.

While driving along the Musandam coast you will see wide sandy beaches suddenly appearing just next to the road. You can stop, park your car and go take a dip in the sea.

If you have a 4×4 vehicle, you are in luck as it allows you to access Musandam’s wild beaches that are just a few kilometer’s drive down to the coast from the main road via an offroad path. 

The best Musandam beaches

Jeri beach (or al-jirri beach) .

Jeri Beach was my favorite beach in Musandam. It is located a 25-minute drive from Khasab-UAE direction. The coastline of Jeri Beach reminded me of the wild coasts of Alentejo in Portugal. 

The beach is around 1 km long, clean and empty. Most people just drive past with a short stop for a picture at most. We found this gem just steps away from the main road and had the beach completely to ourselves. Although Jeri Beach is located in front of the small village and fishing pier of the same name there are no amenities or shops close by. 

Beach Park Hil Oman

For a more family-friendly beach with playgrounds, washroom amenities and even a coffee shop drive to Beach Park Hil following UAE direction for another 3.5 km. It is a beautiful beach with a dedicated parking lot, less wild than Jeri though. 

Bassa Beach

Located in Khasab, just a 10-minute drive from the town center, Bassa is the most frequented beach in the area. However, it only gets significantly busier on the weekends. During weekdays it is just as quiet as any other beach on the Musandam Peninsula. 

Bassa is suitable for families with kids and friends, parking campervan as there is a lot of space, and doing barbeques at sunset. The sea in this spot is calm and good for swimming. When I visited, Bassa Beach was undergoing some construction work, probably they are building a park with more amenities. This slightly obstructed the mountain view, but hopefully, the works are either already done or will finish soon.

Al Jadi Beach

6 km south of Jerri beach, Al Jadi is a small settlement and home to a more popular than Jerri but also beautiful beach close to the soaring cliff. Offering convenient parking space, it is beloved by families and friends as a spot for relaxation and barbeque during the winter season.

Secret or Rocky Beach

Accessible by 4WD only (or a few kilometers hiking), Secret (Rocky Beach) is an amazing spot to camp and swim. Chances are you will be the only visitor there, especially on the weekday. As it is a wild beach, there are no amenities around, thus bring your own water and snacks. 

3. Visit Khor Najd a postcard child of Musandam

Khor Najd Lagoon is a postcard child of Musandam. A switchback road winds down towards the secluded beach overlooking the striking landscape of layered cliffs jutting out of the water.  A work of nature at its finest, beautiful Khor Najd is located a 25-minute drive inland, south of Khasab.

The famous viewpoint of the lagoon is accessible by 2WD. Following the sign indicating a left turn to the Khor Najd, you will have to drive through a rocky twisty, and breath-catching gravel road the last few kilometers. This road can be accessed by any car as long as there was no rain.

Meanwhile descending to the shores of Khor Najd can only be attempted by 4×4. 

Khor Najd is a very popular spot for families doing picnics and camping overnight. It gets quite crowded during national holidays (Oman and UAE) and on winter weekends when the weather is cool. 

4 . Explore Musandam mountains- Jebel Harim and surroundings

Musandam mountains offer another array of wonderful outdoor activities. The only downside, if you want to reach certain places, a 4WD is a must. If you don’t have one, you can still join an organized tour that will take you to the main spots in the mountains.

South of Khasab town, the road continues towards Dibba. This is an offroad snaking through Wadi Bih. As previously mentioned, it cannot be crossed all the way to the Dibba side because of the military checkpoint which only permits Omani nationals.

Nonetheless, there are plenty of areas to visit before the checkpoint. 

As Sayh Plateau

As Sayh Plateau is a small fertile valley surrounded by barren mountains on the way to Jebel Harim. The plateau is situated at 1000 meters above sea level and turns into a lush green oasis after the rare rainfalls. It has a few farms with goats roaming around and feasting on the green grass under the date palms.

Jebel Harim

Jebel Harim is the highest mountain soaring at 2087 meters above sea level and a must-visit place in Musandam. After As Sayh plateau the road steeply continues up for another 11km until you reach a military checkpoint at 1600 meters. You cannot continue all the way to the peak, however, the views are already spectacular enough.

Ar Rawdah Bowl

Reaching the military point you can either turn around and go back to Khasab or continue your journey deeper into the mountains. The route continues south past the military checkpoint for another 25 kilometers until you reach Ar Rawdah Bowl.

Account for at least 45 minutes to reach it via the offroad. 

Ar Rawdah Bowl is known as the area with the largest concentration of acacia trees in Oman. Around 10 families live in the remote Rawdah village.

5. Seek shade in Sal Ala Acacia forest in Musandam

Just 7 kilometers drive from Najd Khor going south till almost the end of the paved main road, you will find Acacia Forest. This is a unique place in Musandam which is mysteriously sprouting in the middle of the dry rocky terrain. 

The place ruled by goats has lots of shade and is a perfect place to have a picnic. It is worth a detour if you are spending more than a day in Musandam. The area offers some hiking opportunities as well. 

6. Stop for the views along Khasab coastal road in Musandam

At some points sheer cliffs are dropping straight into the water, making the coastal views nothing less than spectacular. Don’t miss the opportunity to stop at dedicated viewing points to admire the beauty of the coast. 

• Al Harf Park overlooking a dramatic cliff is situated on the side of a very twisty road turning from the coast inland on the way from Khasab to UAE. A couple of tables with umbrellas and swings are set up there. Parking space is limited to a couple of cars only. Also, be careful as the road is bending and there is no clear visual sight of oncoming cars. 
• Hana viewpoint. Driving out of Khasab town stop at a dedicated viewpoint on the right side of the coastal road. It overlooks the strait of Hormuz and many khors in the distance which gives a beautiful photo opportunity. 
• Cliff View Point on Khasab Coastal Road just a few kilometers before Jeri Beach has a convenient parking lot. It is a beautiful stop to take a short break from driving and just enjoy the breaking waves and high cliffs just above you. 

7. Explore the authentic Tawi village and find ancient petroglyphs in Musandam

Visiting Tawi village was one of my favorite things to do in Musandam. Tawi village is a small traditional settlement inside Wadi Qida accessible off the main Khasab Coastal road, driving west of Bassa Beach. You can drive inside the Wadi with 2wd via a paved road for up to 3km until you reach the dead end of high cliffs. 

Carved out on large boulders which are located on the left side of the road, within 2.5 kilometers drive into the wadi, Petroglyphs are not that straightforward to find. They aren’t visible until you come close to the rocks. We would have missed them if not for a local person who kindly pointed them out to us even without asking.

Petroglyphs are thousands of years old and depict various daily life subjects-animals, people sitting on horsebacks, and similar. They are pretty basic but still, it is cool to see them, especially knowing that it is an ancient art surviving thousands of years. I marked the exact location of petroglyphs on the maps. 

More petroglyphs can be found in Jebel Harim mountain, which is accessible only by 4×4.

However, what I loved the most about this place is the Tawi village itself. Set between steep cliffs, the village is frozen in time with old local people slowly getting about their quiet life while youngsters run around playing football on the self-invented sandy pitch. It makes me wonder if the village will survive the test of time and if this old-school lifestyle will be passed to a new generation or completely disappear.

8. Khasab Castle/Fort

Established by the Portuguese in the 17th century Khasab Castle is the main historical attraction in town. If you are keen to know more about Musandam’s history and culture, visiting Khasab Castle will give you a good overview. The museum inside the fortress holds various historical items specific to the region, rooms set in a traditional manner, and courtyards with traditional boats. The highlight of the ancient fort architecture is the circular tower which you can climb as well. 

Opening hours: Saturday to Thursday 9 am – 4 pm, Friday 8 am-11 am. Entrance fee: 2 USD.

9. Watch or even join the locals playing Qubbah

One of the most authentic and fun experiences we had in Musandam. Is watching locals play qubbah . It is a local baseball-like game. The game is played in two teams using the seed of some fruit (probably mango) as a ball and a frond of the palm tree as a bat. The difference is that there is no pitcher. The seed is lifted off the ground by hitting it with the palm frond and then stroked as far forward as possible. 

The game is mainly played by elderly men, who joke that it is a retired footballer’s game, as it doesn’t involve running. 

After taking hundreds of pictures of Omani men playing qubbah in their dishdashis, I decided to try it out as well. With beginners’ luck, I managed to hit the seed off the ground and strike a couple of meters forward. It is way more difficult than it looks and requires some practice and skill. 

If you want to catch the game, I have pointed on the map a spot where you can find locals playing qubbah . The spot is next to a white mosque on the big road running parallel to Airport Road.

10. Hike in Musandam

Having mountains all around, hiking enthusiasts are offered some wonderful trekking opportunities around the Musandam Peninsula. Note that most of the trails in the area are not marked. I usually use Wikiloc in the UAE and Oman to find some great trails recorded by other hikers.

Near Khasab, you can try Khasab Heights (also called Khasab-Bassa, or Khasab-Qadah heights) route starting near Atana-Khasab Hotel where you can conveniently park your car. The moderately difficult route is signposted and offers wonderful views of the Musandam Peninsula. Allow 3 hours to complete the 6-kilometer route. Also, make sure to wear proper hiking shoes, and carry at least 2 LT of water.

Follow this trail on Wikiloc here recorded by one of the hikers.

11. Visit ancient Masjid at Masjid Beach

Masjid is a centuries-old mosque and a tomb built of white clay in a traditional manner. It is a very mysterious site set on a wild beautiful beach. Only accessible by 4×4, or by hiking for a few kilometers offroad, Masjid is definitely off the Musandam visitors’ radar. Although the place is known by locals and can get some small crowds during public holidays and good winter weekends.

12. Diving in Musandam

For underwater enthusiasts and professionals, there is no better place close to UAE to go diving than Musandam. If you want to learn scuba diving, you can take classes in Khasab and Dibba. If diving is planned as part of your Musandam adventure, then you can join a few diving sessions with an operator in Khasab. However, if you are planning a diving-only trip to Musandam, then Dibba might be a better choice. Some operators also offer overnight diving experiences. 

Note that diving season in Arabian Gulf waters is considered September to January for shark-free waters and the best visibility. February and March due to the very volatile sea and limited visibility should be avoided, just as April to September for the shark season. 

13. Have a special seafood dining experience in Musandam

There is nothing better than a heartful dinner after a long day of activities. For the most local dining experience head to a local fish market in Khasab, get a fresh catch of the day of your choice, and have it grilled for you in one of the nearby restaurants. Note that this is not fine dining, and places are very basic but trust me food is great.

Check my map for the exact locations of the fish market and Amjad restaurant where you can get it grilled immediately after purchasing.

14. Visit the remote village of Kumzar

Kumzar is the northernmost isolated village in Musandam. The only way to access it is by taking a speed boat ride which lasts up to 1 hour. The inhabitants of the village are of Iranian origin with a distinct culture and language native only to the Arabian Peninsula.

The picturesque village of Kumzar nestled between the cliffs dates back more than 500 years when it first was noticed on Portuguese maps.

A few tour operators offer half-day trips to the village. The tour is not the cheapest and costs 1000 AED for a group of 2-4 people. Also, it has to be arranged a few days in advance. 

I have not been to Kumzar yet, but as soon as I have more enthusiasts wanting to join me, will definitely go visit this mysterious remote village of Musandam.

15. Stop at Bukha fort

On the way to Khasab or when returning to the UAE from Musandam, stop at a beautiful Bukha Fort located in Bukha fishing village. This 16th-century fortified castle was built by the Portuguese and played an important role as a defense building in Musandam’s history.

Bonus Activity in Musandam: go paragliding and parasailing to Zighy Bay

For adrenaline seekers who love adventure high in the sky, Zighy Bay in Dibba, Musandam is the place to go for paragliding. The jump-off point is 300 meters above sea level from the Zighy Bay mountain. The flight will definitely take your breath away. The views of the bay surrounded by rigged mountain peaks are simply gorgeous.

The paragliding experience is organized by Six Senses Hotel in Zighy Bay with a pilot who will take care of the flight so you can just enjoy the views. As mentioned before, if you are coming to Musadnam from the Dibba side and joining a tour, experience, or stay in a resort, an entry permit will be sorted for you by the hotel or tour operator.

Recommended places to eat in Khasab, Musandam

Some of the best options to eat or have good coffee/tea in Musandam. Note that none of them are fancy restaurants, but more like simple eateries loved by locals.

Amjad Restaurant- this is the restaurant we got our fish grilled. If you are too tired to go shopping, you can still order other fish dishes in the restaurant. The only difference with bringing your own fish is that it is going to be guaranteed fresh.

Yemen Village Restaurant – is a well-rated place to have Yemeni food, and also grilled fish.

Khasab Castle (Wadi Qada) Iranian Restaurant – this place serves meat mostly. We came here for the special tea served in a really cool pot. We consumed countless cups of this freshly brewed Iranian tea served on a traditional type of dining podium.

Fanr Musandam Turkish Restaurant – located just outside the harbor where dhow cruises depart from, this place serves great takeaway kebabs.

Dote Café – for coffee lovers like myself, I recommend driving a bit south of the Khasab center for this modern coffee shop that offers specialty coffee (cold chocolate moca was my favorite). Surprisingly we met a guy from Poland working there.

And that’s a wrap for this Musandam from Dubai road trip guide. Hope you found useful information which helps you plan your journey as well as try some of the best things to do in Musandam. If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to leave your comment at the end of this post.

I hope you are enjoying my free travel guides & tips. If yes, please consider supporting my work by buying me a coffee so I can continue creating more useful content from my favorite coffee shop in town. Thanks!

Destination reveal: it’s lights up on oman.

Birds are a big thing in Oman’s Musandam Peninsula. As you walk along, it’s not unusual to catch sight of the flick of a sapphire-blue tail, the glimpse of scarlet-red feathers cloaked by a wing or the pop of banana-yellow on a crooked beak. It’s as if the sky has reacted in rainbow protest to the dusty beige of Oman’s landscape. Here, you wake up to a cacophony of twittering and cooing: Indian Rollers, Bulbuls and Sunbirds forming a dawn chorus.

Six Senses Zighy Bay is framed by the Hajar Mountains on one side and the icy-blue waters of the ... [+] Musandam fjords on the other.

Framed by the Hajar Mountains on one side and the icy-blue waters of the Musandam Fjords on the other, this enclave belonging to Oman, found on the northern tip of the Arabian peninsula, is geographically set apart from the rest of the country (it is separated from the rest of Oman by the United Arab Emirates). Known as the Norway of the Middle East, and best accessible by four-wheel drive from Dubai, the remote location at times looks lunar, with its barren landscape dotted with flighty goats and hardy Ghaf trees; other times, you can imagine yourself to be in a Polar region, with its glacier-like coastline.

Looking down on Zioghy Bay.

When it comes to tourism, compared to other Middle Eastern ‘big-hitters’ (such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar), Oman has managed to remain relatively ‘under the radar’, escaping the hoards of tourists who are attracted to the ‘bright lights, big city’ mentality that other Emirates in the region offer and giving it more of an ‘adventurer’ appeal.

Josh Peacock, regional destination manager, at luxury tour operator, Scott Dunn says that it is this exact quality that is its allure. “Oman’s allure is absolutely about authenticity, away from the more manufactured neighbour of Dubai. Dramatic landscapes combined with Arabian waters and plenty of culture have seen a rise in interest in the destination.”

Wealth of malaysia’s 50 richest on forbes list up 2% to $83.4 billion, wwe raw results, winners and grades on april 15, 2024.

Tristan Williams, Middle East resorts specialist at the company, agrees: “In a region currently negotiating renewed uncertainty, Oman is once again the shining haven of stability, security and unwavering beauty, which so many seek. The destination has stayed true to itself, reflecting the very best of everything this incredible part of the world has to offer, from both a cultural and natural perspective. Whether it’s the striking the mountains, turquoise waters, fascinating cities and hotels to match… it has it all.”

The fjords of Musandam

Proving that the country could soon be the next hotspot in the region, there is a line-up of new hotel brands due to open their doors. First up is Mandarin Oriental Muscat , located in the beachfront town of Shatti Al-Qurum, and on target to open by the summer. Nikki Beach Resort and Spa is also due to open by the end of the year, with its resort found on Yiti Bay (30 minutes from Muscat airport) and overlooking the Gulf of Oman. Also due to open in 2024 is the St Regis Al Mouj Muscat , found on an 18-hole Al Mouj Muscat golf course. It will boast a Guerlain spa and have a culinary focus, with outposts of Coya, Hakkasan and Dubai-based Italian restaurant Roberto’s.

The welcome entrance to Six Senses Zighy Bay.

Presiding over Musandam, however, is one of the original hotels to put down roots in the country: Six Senses Zighy Bay , which opened its doors in 2008. It’s a two-and-a-half hour drive to reach it from Dubai, passing through the Khasab border crossing, as you briefly enter the United Arab Emirates. You’ll pass through tiny towns, such as Dibba, where time looks like it has stood still. Shops display old-fashioned and literal signage, sometimes clumsily translated into English: ‘Clipping and Cutting of Men’s Hair’; ‘Washing and Polishing of Motor Vehicles’.

Soon, the mountains take over, and it’s as though you are squeezing your way through their barren peaks to reach the tip of the peninsula where Zighy Bay is found. Your first sight of the resort is from a dramatic, high point before you descend to its beachfront location. Famously, you can elect to tandem-paraglide into the Six Senses property from this spot, which is perhaps the most spectacular way to say you have arrived for check-in at any hotel.

Inside one of the villas with its traditional features.

Low-rise, and carved out of natural stone, the resort’s 82 villas blend into the landscape so you can barely see it is there. It is a nod to the resort’s strong sustainable values that are woven throughout its whole ethos. Initiatives include a seawater well, which means the resort can filter seawater for use within the resort (and for use in one of its pools); an earth lab where glass is recycled; a lush, organic kitchen garden which supplies the five restaurants and the creation of a protected marine area to safeguard the unique eco-system found here.

“Our main focus when it comes to our operations are plastic free, zero waste, energy conservation and organic farming,” says Six Senses about Zighy Bay. “In total, 80 per cent of our organic and glass waste is recycled or upcycled on site, more than 80 per cent of all single-use plastic has been removed, and 30 per cent of the resort’s energy was saved in 2022 compared to our baseline year.”

For adrenalin junkies, you can paraglide into the resort.

Designed to replicate a typical Omani village, each villa is separated by winding, sandy paths, dotted with an abundance of neem, lemon and date palm trees. Once inside, rough-hewn stucco walls, stone floors and ceilings made of date palm sticks give a tropical-rustic feel. Each comes with a private plunge pool and there are outdoor showers and traditional shady majils (seating areas) to take in the views. Naturalmat beds are deep and cosy and are lined with fine, unbleached cotton sheets topped with ergonomic pillows (there is a choice for total bedtime indulgence). Character is added with heavy, dark wood doors, as if you are entering your own mini castle, pops of colour with burnt orange cushions and tactile, handcrafted lighting.

The resort is rooted in Omani culture.

Once you’ve settled in, this is the sort of place where you’ll kick off your shoes and pad along barefoot to one of the pools; or maybe you’ll hop on your own bicycle to explore the sandy pathways (the hotel’s attention to detail even extends to the bikes’ pedals, which are padded so you don’t even have to wear shoes to cycle). As well as an infinity pool and a saltwater pool, (check out the ice-cream cart for instant cooling-down opportunities), you can try your hand at a line-up of activities, such as mountain biking, scuba diving or, perhaps, a flight in a microlight aircraft. At the Earth Lab, you can book in for candle-making, soap-making and glass crafting.

Sense on the Edge is one of the culinary highlights.

Dining at Zighy Bay is a highlight with five restaurants offering a variety of cuisines, but all ofrering thoughtful (and delicious) references to the destination. Spice Market serves up a huge breakfast feast and in the evenings turns its hand to traditional Arabic barbecues and dishes influenced by the ‘Spice Trail’. Mezzeria offers a fusion of Italian and shawarma dishes; while Summer House is the perfect spot for casual lunches overlooking the beach (think: sushi, wellness bowls and freshly-baked flatbreads and dips). A must is the Shua Shack’s traditional Bedouin dining, which features mezze dishes and slow-cooked lamb prepared in an authentic Shua underground oven. For something spectacular, Sense on the Edge, offers fine dining at a clifftop venue, some 950 feet above the sea, and sees you dine overlooking the resort and the coast below. As the sun dips, the outdoor restaurant is lit by candlelight and lanterns giving it an ethereal feel. For special occasions, book one of the Starlight or Moonlight tables, which are found on their own private terraces.

The organic garden provides ingredients for the restaurants.

Another integral part of Six Senses Zighy Bay’s culture is its work with local communities and schools and the encouragement of guests to get out and explore the local area with a collection of trips and experiences. One initiative is its support of the local Dibba Women Association and guests can meet some of the local women, purchase their handmade craft items, hear traditional Omani music, taste Omani sweets and share aromatic coffee with them, as well as take part in henna painting. All proceeds go towards helping to fund their infrastructure development projects, including nurseries and schools.

The Dhahab sunset cruise.

Despite the amount of things to do and see, time seems to pass slowly here. The remote spot oozes a holistic feel, whether you’ve found a little piece of zen with the sunrise yoga or nodded off at the hands of the exceptional therapists found at the Six Senses Spa. Of course, this being Six Senses, the spa is a signature highlight of the property, with many of its treatments designed to root you in Oman, due to the local ingredients that they use, such as frankincense, honey and rosewater.

The resort is like its own mini oasis.

Not to be missed is a sunset cruise on Dhahab , the resort’s traditional dhow boat, which has been made specially for the hotel and fitted out as a modern, luxury cruiser. As you sail the Musandam fjords, you pass tiny fishing villages perched on the cliffs and can anchor in secluded coves. For those wanting to dive or scuba, the waters are famous for their brightly coloured corals. While on the mountains, this is one of the only areas of the world where the earth’s mantle has broken through, with green ophiolites, part of the earth’s crust, visible to the eye.

When you return to the resort, low-level lighting (to combat light pollution) gives it a tranquil, hideaway feel. As the lights are dimmed on earth, above you, the stars are switching. Look up, it’s a wonder to behold.

From Zighy Bay, you can dive into the Musandam area.

Scott Dunn offers seven nights at Six Senses Zighy Bay, Oman, from £8,500, based on a couple sharing on a half-board basis, including return flights from London and private transfers. scottdunn.com
