THE MUSANDAM PENINSULA
Separated from the rest of Oman by the east coast of the UAE, and guarding the southern
side of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz, the Musandam Peninsula is dubbed the
'Norway of Arabia' for its beautiful
khors
, small villages and dramatic, mountain-hugging
roads. Accessible but isolated in character, this beautiful peninsula with its cultural eccent-
ricities is well worth a visit if you're on an extended tour of Oman, or if you're after a taste
of wilderness from Dubai.
