Oman Off-Road Routes: Musandam

Musandam

Dramatic and unspoilt, with breathtaking natural scenery, this trip will take you all the way from the 'fjords' up to nearly 2,000m at the top of the pass. At sea level, the dhow trips and regular dolphin sightings are the main attractions. Once in the mountains, you can enjoy temperatures a healthy 8°C cooler than on the coast, so camping throughout the summer months is still almost pleasant. This is easily one of the most rewarding routes in the region.
