Musandam
Oman is advancing and occupying a prominent position on the global tourist map year after year. It has proved its strength as a prominent tourism destination by competing with other major countries in the travel industry.
Oman has a list of historical stories to describe to the world that provides a solid tourism potential. The diverse geological regions, including deep valleys, vast deserts, towering mountains, flat plains, beaches, and stretching coasts boost its tourism. The customs and traditions of the people and their castles and towers in various governorates represent unique nature and geological make-up.
When you start exploring the coastline, there’s something about the dusty frontier of Oman called the Musandam peninsula. It is disconnected from the rest of Oman and the glossy shopping malls of the country’s capital, Muskat. Hence, the travelers can enjoy soaking up in the traditional atmosphere and biblical landscapes of the region during their Musandam tourism bordering Gulf.
