Overview
Khasab is a city in Oman, located on the Musandam Peninsula. It's accessible via Sheikh Zayed Road from Dubai or flights from Muscat. Positioned in an Omani exclave, Khasab sits northwest of Muscat and is the capital of the Musandam Peninsula. Nestled along the Hormuz Strait, between Iran, the UAE, and Oman, the city remained isolated until recent road construction from the UAE. This development boosted infrastructure and spurred tourist interest, leading to increased local growth.
