How about a Musandam road trip from Dubai to explore one of the best peninsulas in the world? Musandam is a rugged mountainous peninsula, which is actually a part of Oman. Although it is a part of Oman, there is something interesting about Musandam. Musandam is situated in UAE but is still considered an Omani region. This is because Musandam is a geographical exclave. A geographical exclave is a place which is separated from the mainland and is surrounded by one or more foreign states. Such is the case with Musandam where it is surrounded by UAE states. Right from the extravaganza, to the bustling city and nightlife, to the towering skyscrapers and shopping malls, Dubai is easily one of the favourites for many people across the globe.

Although Dubai is predominantly known for all the above-said factors and Burj Khalifa, a Musandam road trip is what you need to add variety into your Dubai vacation. Therefore, it would be a lovely and unique experience taking up a Musandam road trip!

Although a Musandam road trip from Dubai is possible, you will have to keep in mind that Musandam is technically a part of Oman. Therefore, if you are taking a Musandam road trip, you will have to get Omani travel insurance. This will help you to get an Omani Visa, which you can get on arrival.
