Khor Najd
خور نجد
The only fjord on the peninsula that can be reached by car. A mountain-road viewpoint overlooks the blue-green bay, and a small beach by the water is a spot for camping.
Khor Najd is the only fjord in Musandam that can be reached by car right to the water, about 25 kilometers from Khasab. A viewpoint along the mountain road overlooks the winding blue-green bay and the layered ridges, one of the most photogenic angles on the peninsula. A steep, zigzagging gravel road then descends to a small sandy beach, where locals often camp and barbecue. The downhill road is very steep, so a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended, or you can join a Jebel Harim mountain tour that stops here. There are no facilities at the beach, so bring your own drinking water.
