Sailing in Musandam Oman

SAILING in MUSANDAM

OMAN

The Musandam Peninsula in Oman is known for its stunning fjords, which are similar to those found in Norway. The area is home to unique wildlife and plants, and is a popular destination for adventure activities such as kayaking, swimming, and rock climbing. The peninsula is also known for its remote and peaceful atmosphere, making it a popular place for travelers seeking a more serene and authentic travel experience. Additionally, the local people of the region have a long history of seafaring and boat-building, and still maintain a traditional way of life centered around fishing and trade.

As a passionate traveler, I fulfilled one of my dream of sailing on a traditional Omani dhow in the serene waters of the Musandam Peninsula in Oman. Set sail into the Gulf of Oman, surrounded by towering mountains. During the sail, I was fortunate enough to spot a group of playful dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Spent the whole day exploring the breathtaking coastline, snorkelling in the turquoise waters, and enjoying the serene beauty of the place. As the sun set, I watched the sunset from the deck of the Dhow. Later, after dinner at midnight, I lay down on the deck to gaze at the stars, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility as I drifted off to sleep under the starry sky. The next day, you returned to the mainland with gratitude for the unforgettable experience and the magical sailing trip in the Musandam Peninsula, surrounded by stunning scenery and the starry sky. Enjoy!

Thank you for traveling with me!

This is part of my ongoing travel visual clips, where I share a glimpse of my travel visuals and thoughts. Each series features a paragraph about the history of the place, followed by a paragraph describing my thoughts while exploring that place. Accompanied by no more than fifteen carefully curated images that I took, each series is intended to give you the umami of travel. - Julius Yls
