Known as the Mountain of Women, the beautiful Jebel Harim is the highest peak in Musandam located at 2,087 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the glorious valley. The rocks on the mountains are studded with well-preserved fossils, showing signs of life from creatures like molluscs, fish, clams and a collection of trilobites. The summit of the mountain is off-limits to the public as there is a radar station situated on the peak, watching the shipping action on the Straights of Hormuz. It is a beautiful drive with paved roads all around the mountain. On your way down, you'll see a stunning fossil wall, which is made out of a sea bed rock. It's covered in a layer of fossilized impressions with outlines of starfish and other sea animals. Read More

Visiting the Khasab Fort is one of the best ways tourists can get a glimpse of how Oman looked like before it was globalised. The Khasab fort was built in the 17th century by the Portuguese. The fort now houses one of the best museums in Oman and gives visitors a fantastic glimpse of how the Omanis used to live in the 17th century. The main attraction of the fort is the actual boats from ancient Musandam that are exhibited. The fort has been segregated into the museum and the housing exhibition. The museum houses artefacts that portray the history of Musandam. The housing exhibition recreates a well-furnished house that was part of the fort and visitors can see clothes, decor and other items that were reserved to take the visitor back to the 17th century.
