From the water is where to get a closer look at the fjords of Musandam. There are huge chunks of rocks towering over the serene waters and little villages that are only accessible by boat. One of the striking geological features of these mountains is all the twisting and turning they've gone through over the years. It is possible to see many of these on boat trips arranged through agencies in Dubai or Khasab. Dhow cruises take you either out to the Hormuz Strait or to the largest fjord, Khor Ash Sham.
The new road allows access to Tawi where you can visit some prehistoric drawings and rock engravings of boats, animals and warriors.
Built in the 17th century and restored in 1990, its rounded pear-shaped watchtower is particularly notable.
