Kayaking the Musandam Peninsula in Oman

Happy Friday!

This is Adventure Fix, the weekly email that’s like Google for explorers.

Today we’re heading to Oman, to go kayaking in the Musandam Peninsula.

Kayaking the Musandam Peninsula in Oman

Picture yourself effortlessly gliding through the crystal-clear waters of Oman's Sham Fjord.

As you navigate, you'll be surrounded by the breathtaking ruggedness of the desert landscape.

The towering cliffs and hidden coves of Musandam's remote peninsula create an untouched haven, far away from the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots.

Take a break to stretch your legs and hike along the narrow strip of land between Sham and Habbalayn Bays to discover a magical place of ancient villages lost in the mountains.

In the afternoon, go for a refreshing swim and snorkel among green turtles, eagle rays, and harmless reef sharks.

If you are extra lucky, a pod of dolphins might come to swim beside your kayak.
