Khasab

Khasab shore excursions with Bakadi Dreams reach a genuine insider tip on the Musandam peninsula in northern Oman. Indeed, the region is often called the Norway of Arabia, and with good reason. Moreover, deep fjords, towering rock walls and turquoise water create a panorama few expect in the Orient.

Fjords and Mountains

The khors, as the fjords are called here, cut deep into bare mountains that drop straight into the sea. Traditional wooden dhows sail into them, and dolphins regularly accompany the boats. Small fishing settlements cling to the shore, some reachable only by water. Above all, Jebel Harim, the Mountain of Women, rises to around 2,000 metres as the highest peak of the peninsula.

Your Day Ashore in Khasab

Three tours are available here: a full day by dhow through the fjords, a shorter half-day version, and a mountain safari by four-wheel drive. Therefore, the choice comes down to whether you prefer the water or the heights. Finally, sun protection and a hat are essential, as shade is scarce on both.
