Starting from the principal town of Khasab, a graded road straddles a ridge, high above valleys on either side. Jebel Harim is the highest point in Musandam. It's used for military purposes, so the road doesn't go over the top, but veers off about 0.4 km from the summit.
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.
