Minimum:          4-8 adults   Trekking The most peaceful way to visit the Mountains of Musandam, without the sound of engines, deafened by the sound of nature. Our favourite route, crossing from Sham Fjord to Kumzar, will take you past abandoned village, with old pottery and derelict houses. The trek includes a night in the mountains where the air is so pure and the flora and fauna are to be marvelled at, along with the abundance of birds, butterflies and of course, mountain goats. Views over the Gulf of Arabia and Gulf of Oman are amazing, to be experienced first hand and in some areas you will be the first human being to step foot, sharing the route only with goats. As you come close to Kumzar the valley opens up and you arrive at the edge of the world. Maybe you will encounter villagers gathering wood or herding, you will definitely surprise them with your arrival. Minimum:          10 adults   Diving Diving in this area is described as ‘an experienced divers dive,’ due to strong currents and large fish. With the diving in the UAE and surrounding areas being limited, it is a welcome addition to any diver’s log book. There are many sites, more sheltered and less deep, that also welcome beginners. The spectacular scenery, impressive fjords created by the majestic Hajar Mountains, is both inviting and exhilarating. Visibility is usually good, with over 10 metres common, and there is a rich sea life to enjoy. An abundance of plankton results in a wealth of fish, especially the larger species of rays, sharks, barracuda, tuna and the occasional sighting of Whale Sharks. Minimum:          2 adults
