Khasab Holidays
The capital of the Musandam region, Khasab, is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty and was historically only accessible on foot or by small boats. Nowadays, it serves as a gateway to the remote Arabian Peninsula and can be reached by air from Muscat in just over an hour. Traditionally, Khasab was a community of fishermen, boat builders, and tradesmen. Today, it is popular with visitors looking to cruise its Norwegian-like fjords in a traditional dhow, whether on a one-day adventure or a longer exploration. Along these picturesque coastlines, you can spot dolphins and, if you're lucky, even whale sharks and minke whales. Khasab also serves as an ideal base for diving and snorkelling adventures, as the temperate waters of the bays are teeming with marine wildlife such as turtles and barracuda.
