Khasab is the capital of Oman’s Musandam Peninsula and is often referred to as the “Norway of Arabia” because of its remarkable fjord-like landscapes and rugged mountain scenery. Its isolation adds to its beauty and Khasab is a place where nature, adventure, and peace coexist superbly.
The best experience of any trip is a dhow cruise across the Musandam fjords. In that way, tourists can easily traverse the turquoise waters, which are densely surrounded by cliffs and coastlines. Besides, one can rarely see dolphins during the ride because dolphins are playful and they sometimes swim along the boats as if making an unforgettable experience with the tourists. Besides, the waters are crystal-clear and are therefore best for snorkeling, diving, and swimming, which allow one to see the colorful coral reefs and marine life underneath the water.
On the ground, the visitors can visit the Khasab Fort, a 17th-century structure built by the Portuguese, which tells about the region’s splendid maritime history. Adventurers can drive or hike up the Jebel Harim mountains, the tallest peaks in the Musandam Peninsula, where breathtaking views of rocky valleys and ancient petroglyphs will be offered.
Khasab's tranquil villages, deserted beaches, and welcoming people present Oman’s true hospitality and slow-paced charm. As one pans through the rugged fjords, finds hidden trails in the mountains, or simply relishes the calmness of the sea, Khasab assures one a lifetime experience of the magnificent natural beauty and the deep-rooted cultural serenity.
Khasab, a genuine hidden treasure of Oman, is the perfect getaway for adventurers, the burned-out, the seekers of nature's raw beauty, and the Shy ones who want the last bit of Arabia's northern frontier.
