Overview
Khasab is the capital of the Musandam Peninsula, in Oman's exclave northwest of Muscat. It lies on the coast of the Strait of Hormuz, between Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
This half-day trip is an introduction to the peninsula and its capital. Khasab Fort was built to prevent attacks from the sea. Teak wood from India was used to build it, and its roof was made from a mix of palm leaves and clay.
Within its low, crenellated walls stands a large central tower, thought to be older than the fort itself.
