We were a group of about 3 families - 16 people including 2 young children, and decided to head to Khasab (Musandam) over the Eid break in November with an overnight stay. Given that we anticipated a lot of other people to be there too, we left right at sunrise from Sharjah and were at the borders by 9am. UAE... More

The mountain range extends from the tip of Musandam along the Indian Ocean coast. Here the mountains are also on the west coast. You can see dolphins, sea birds, fish and coral in the fjords. The best way to see the northerly fjords is by dhow. More
