Days 1: Jeeb Safari

After arrival your trip starts with a tour to Jebel Harim, the mountain of women. It is the highest peak of Musandam (2087m).

On the way up you visit the Bedouin village Sayh, located at 1100 m height. Here you have a stunning view over Musandam.

You continue to the settlement Rowdah with its pre-islamic cemetery followed by Khor Najid, the only fjord that can be reached by road.

On the way back via Birkat Khalidya you pass through a large shaded acacia forest that is watered by Musandams biggest aflaj canal system.

Overnight stay at  hotel in  Musandam (-/-/-)

Days 2: Coast of Musandam

After breakfast we chauffeur you to Khasab where you board a traditional Omani wooden sailing boat, the so-called dhow.

Spend the entire day onboard, cruising along Musandam’s longest and most spectacular fjord. Calm, turquoise waters contrast the surrounding creamy white karst mountains.

The narrow entry of Khor Shimm looks like a gorge as its bolt upright cliffs reach sky high and reflect in the azure waters.

Along the way you find small fishing villages and most likely a school or two of the endemic Bottlenose Dolphins. Some people like to swim with the friendly mammals. The boat will anchor close to Telegraph Island where you have the opportunity to swim and snorkel. Please bring your swimwear along.

You can also just relax with a cup of coffee or non-alcoholic drink and enjoy the peace and serenity of the area. Here the mountains reach up to 600 m and are a spectacular sight. Arabic-continental buffet lunch is served on the dhow. After this relaxing stop you continue the journey to Seebi Island, another locality for swimming. You reach Khasab harbour at around 16.00 hrs and return to the hotel. Overnight stay at hotel in  Musandam (B/L/-)
