2025 Khasab Local Highlights Option - 4 Hours - Provided by Project Expedition
Guests will enjoy a pre-arranged sightseeing itinerary with a Private Car and Guide to explore the following destination highlights.
Start your tour at Khasab Fort, also known as Khasab Castle. This 17th-century fort offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the tranquil waters of the Musandam Peninsula. Explore the exhibits inside the fort, which showcase Omani history and heritage.
Drive to Khawr Najd, a picturesque bay known for its turquoise waters and rugged coastline. Take a short break here to admire the scenic beauty and perhaps take some photos of the stunning landscape. Head towards Jebel Harim, the highest peak in the Musandam Peninsula. Although reaching the summit may not be feasible within a four-hour tour, you can still enjoy a scenic drive through the mountains, with opportunities to stop and take in the breathtaking views along the way.
If time allows, consider taking a boat trip to Telegraph Island, located off the coast of Khasab. This historic island was once used as a telegraph repeater station during the British colonial era. Today, it's a popular spot for snorkeling, swimming, and exploring the ruins. Drive along Khasab Corniche, a scenic waterfront promenade offering views of the tranquil waters of the Arabian Gulf and the rugged coastline of the Musandam Peninsula. Stop for a leisurely stroll and soak in the serene atmosphere.
Before concluding your tour, visit the local markets in Khasab to browse for souvenirs, handicrafts, and traditional Omani products. The markets offer a glimpse into the local culture and are a great place to interact with residents.
Tour can be scheduled to start at either 8:00am or 12:30pm.
Please Note: If you have extra time and wish to experience the beauty of Khasab from the water, consider booking a traditional dhow cruise. These wooden boats offer a relaxing way to explore the fjords, bays, and remote villages of the Musandam Peninsula.
