Musandam Fjords
The spectacular 'Norway of Arabia' featuring sheer limestone cliffs dropping into the sea.

Al Hajar Mountains
The vast, dark mountain range that forms the backbone of Oman's northern interior.
Mountain Villages

This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic shadows that accentuate the craggy terrain of the Hajar Mountains. Aim for a seat forward of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the narrow fjords during the initial climb.
