Barren mountains that rise up to 2,000 metres or 6,500 feet above sea level jut out like fingers into the sea, creating countless fjord-like inlets and yield spectacular views.
Mountains
Starting from the principal town of Khasab, a graded road straddles a ridge, high above valleys on either side. This is near Jabal Harim Mt. Harim, the highest point in Musandam. It's used for military purposes, so the road doesn't go over the top, but veers off about 1/4 mile from the summit.Seacoasts
Out on the water is where to get a closer look at the fjords of Musandam. Huge chunks of rocks towering over the serene waters and little villages that are only accessible by boat.One of the striking geological features of these mountains is all the twisting and turning they've gone through over the years. It is possible to catch many of these boat trips through agencies in Dubai. The drive from the UAE, especially after passing the Omani borders, is great, as it goes through breathtaking landscapes. Dhow cruises take you out to the Hormuz Strait.
