Musandam Fjords (Khasab) - The Norway of Arabia
Situated on the Strait of Hormuz, the Musandam Peninsula is an enclave of fjords (khors) accessible by traditional wooden Omani dhows. Cruising into Khor Sham offers dolphin watching, swimming off historic Telegraph Island, and snorkelling vibrant coral gardens.
“Dramatically sculpted sea inlets where sheer barren cliffs plunge into turquoise waters frequented by wild humpback dolphins.”
