The Musandam (26deg.N-56deg.E), on the tip of the Arabian Peninsula, overlooking the Straits of Hormuz is bordered to the west by the warm waters of the Arabian Gulf and to the East and South East by the vibrant and plentiful Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean.

The land and seascapes have altered little over countless centuries, you will be following in the wake of seafarers who have plied these waters, trading and fishing, for over 5000 years.
