Free Campsites in Musandam Khasab for Holidays

Best Camping Sites in Khasab, Musandam Region

The Musandam Peninsula is one of the calmest and most relaxing tourist attractions in the Middle East, with Khasab being one of its most attractive spots. People from all over the world enjoy the warmth and calm of the region, and it is a dream location for camping under the open sky full of stars, with warm temperatures during the day and much cooler breezes cooling it down during the night. Although most of the land is void and you could practically camp anywhere, the government has designated numerous camping areas all around the peninsula that are both safe and easily accessible. You can pretty much not camp at non-dedicated spots. If you are planning a camping holiday on the Musandam Peninsula, here are a few top sites you can consider.

The Telegraph Island

Telegraph Island is considered one of the best Musandam campsites. Although camping on the inner parts of the island is banned, you can camp on the calm beaches of your choice. The island got its name when the British laid a telegraph cable running through it, and it stays pretty quiet and calm most of the time. The calm, cool breeze and the warm waters are perfect for camping opportunities, and you can explore your way around the island in your spare time.

The Seebi Island Camping

Pretty much like Telegraph Island, Seebi Island also has very calm beaches that have been preserved as they were in the old days. You can camp, barbecue, or do what you want while on the island's beaches and the exploration of the nearby fjords will keep you busy all the time.

Bassa Beach Camping Site near Atana Khasab Hotel

Just before you arrive at Khasab, there is a great camping site right as you go along the Atana Khasab Hotel. This Musandam campsite is called Bassa Beach. The hotel is a huge structure near the beach and you can’t miss it as you pass it on the highway, look for the camping site right at its far edge. Enjoy a free campsite with a fresh fish cooking opportunity (fish is available nearby the market). There is also a public toilet that you can use whenever required.

Acacia Forest Camping Site

The large wadi near Sall Ala is a vast barren land and in the Acacia Forest, you can camp wherever you want. However, the spots near the tarmac road are quite crowded because of its popularity and you will have to be really lucky or get there at the earliest hour to get a good spot. Otherwise, the whole backyard of the front rows is open and you can even interact with other campers there to charm up the moods.

Mountain Camping

The Musandam Peninsula has a range of naturally formed fjords that gave rise to high mountains and cool cliffs. The spot right between Jabal Al Harim and Jabal Bil Ays is a great camping site and is easily accessible by car. You need to take the road from Khasab to Dibba to get to it and after turning into the dirt track 20 km in going past the Sayah plateau about 5 km you will be on a track to the right side forming a round circle. You can camp on either side of the road, you will find a lot of sharp broken glass on the south side from the industries that used to be there and the north side has ruins from a settlement where you can camp easily. The place is lesser known to most people and stays quiet for that reason as well. The view of the Jabal al Harim and the isolation of the place make it a great camping site.

Harf Village Camping Site

This one is not actually in the peninsula but a great camping location indeed. At the far north end of the mainland, north of Harf Village, there are small parking spots along the coastal road. Take a short hike to get to the cliff's edge; that particular area is pretty flat providing beautiful hilltop views. This area is usually left alone, and you can camp all you want.
