Musandam View Point, Musandam, Musandam Governorate, Oman
Musandam Governorate is the smallest region in Oman located at the tip of the Arabian peninsula separating the Persian Gulf from the Gulf of Oman. Musandam is quite unique because it is physically separated from mainland Oman by the UAE. Musandam overlooks the Strait of Hormuz, one of the busiest waterways in the world. It is also sometimes called “The Norway of the East”, due to the rugged mountains that cover the coasts, forming fjords resembling the ones created by glaciers in colder regions. The peninsula consists of the capital city Khasab and a couple of other cities and townships.
