Straddling the world's most important shipping lanes (Persian Gulf) is Musandam, which nurtures Oman's most dramatic coastline. Musandam sitting on the North Eastern extremity of Arabia covers an area of 1800 square kilometers and is an enclave of Oman separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates and juts out into the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. Oman Musandam mountains originally constituted part of the Zagros Mountain range but shaped by seismic and ancient volcanic activity, separated to form the Hajar Mountain range.

Often coined "The Norway of the Arabian Gulf" because of the inlets likened to Norway's fjords, Oman Musandam offers some of the most remarkable and stunning scenery in the Arabian Peninsula. The magnificent Hajar mountain range dominates its landscape with its serrated cliffs and jagged peaks rising over 2000 meters above the sea level and ending with Ru'us Al Jebal plunging dramatically and dizzyingly into the sea. The Oman Musandam peninsula has a host of beautiful and secretive 'khors' – the fjords of Arabia – none more alluring than 'Khor al-Shim', the largest fjord in Oman Musandam.

The Oman Musandam peninsula is surrounded by the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Oman and has one of the widest biodiversities of marine species that can be found anywhere in the world. Oman Musandam offer to visitors exciting deep-sea diving and snorkeling experiences, so ideal the islands almost replicate an outdoor aquarium, where shoals of fish weave in and around a kaleidoscope of iridescent purple, yellow and green-hued coral.

Its tortuous shoreline, attractive beaches, exotic marine creatures, flora and fauna, sea birds, turtles, wild dolphins and colorful corals contribute greatly to its natural charm. For the culture and history oriented the area abounds with watchtowers, mosques, artifacts and relics dating back to the Iron Age.

The Oman Musandam peninsula is mainly inhabited by the 'Shihuh'a tribe of semi nomadic people who are fishermen and herdsmen. The mountains have isolated communities for centuries. At its nearest point Musandam is just 55 km from Iran and on a clear, sunny day one can see Iran across the strait. A visit to Oman Musandam offers a unique contact with the nature in its entire wild splendor.
