Musandam in Oman is often referred to as the “Norway of Arabia.” Its extensive and striking cream-colored limestone fjords contrast beautifully with the serene turquoise waters. Exploring Musandam is an exceptional experience that should not be missed!
During the tour through Musandam in the Gulf of Oman, you will pass by small fishing villages, spectacular white mountains, rocks, and beautiful bays, and there is a good chance you will spot wild dolphins that often swim in the waters of Musandam. In between, there is also time to swim or snorkel in the turquoise waters of the bay.
You will also travel past Telegraph Island in the Elphinstone Bay. The island, formerly used as a telegraph signalling station, is legendary because the employees went mad from the intense summer heat and the hostility of the local population. In 1864, the British laid the first telegraph cable from India to Basra in Iraq here, but that cable became out of service five years later.
