Musandam

Musandam is easiest to reach via Khasab (for fjords) or Dibba/Zighy Bay (for resort stays).

• Fly via Oman: Fly into Muscat International (MCT), then connect on a domestic flight to Khasab (KHS). This is the simplest option if you want to avoid land borders.
• Overland from the UAE: Many travelers fly into Dubai (DXB) and drive north toward Musandam. Border procedures vary by route, so carry your passport, vehicle documents, and printed accommodation confirmations.
• By sea from mainland Oman: Oman National Ferries operates routes connecting Musandam with the Oman mainland. Schedules can be seasonal, so confirm close to travel and plan buffer time.

Once in Musandam, most diving and snorkeling is boat-based. Khasab town is the main staging point for Khor Sham dhow cruises and for several dive operators.

• Khasab base: Taxis and hotel transfers cover town logistics, but a rental car gives you flexibility for scenic drives and viewpoints. Many mountain routes are best with a 4x4.
