About Khasab
Khasab, the capital of Oman's Musandam peninsula, is the main launchpad for dhow cruises into the fjord-lined Khor ash Sham, where pods of dolphins routinely escort boats through the deep, mountain-walled inlets. A 17th-century Portuguese fort overlooks the harbour, and the town's relaxed pace and dramatic backdrop make it a memorable base for exploring the strait.
