Fly & Road- 2 Nights Musandam from Muscat

Program

Day 1:
Arrival Khasab Airport - followed by Jabal Harim Excusion
Pick-up from Khasab Airport. Proceed for Jebel Harim, which translates as the ‘mountain of women’ and at 2000m the highest peak in Musandam. The mountain takes its name from the days when local women would retreat to caves up here in order to avoid being carried off by pirates or rival tribes while their menfolk were away on extended fishing or trading expeditions. The actual summit is home to a radar station monitoring shipping way below in the Straits of Hormuz and is out of bounds, although there are superb all-round views from the road, with breathtaking views back to Khasab and onwards towards Dibba. Many of the rocks up here are also studded with superbly preserved fossils, offering the remarkable sight of ancient submarine creatures – molluscs, fish, clams and numerous trilobites – now incongruously stranded near the summit of one of Arabia’s highest mountains.

The settlement is famous for its ancient petrographs – 3,000-year-old paintings splattered on the rock face.En route you’ll pass a remarkable fossil wall, formed out of what was originally a chunk of seabed rock and covered in a dense layer of fossilized impressions among which the outlines of crabs, starfish and shells can clearly be made out.
