Musandam · Nightlife

Operators run one-night trips that anchor in a khor with dinner and mattresses laid out on deck. The fjords go completely silent after dark.

The standard local weekend: down the hairpins, pitch on the pebbles, and have the inlet to yourself. Take everything you need with you.

Licensed drinking is confined to the town's handful of hotels. Outside them there is nothing, and drinking in public is illegal.

Cafes, shisha and moored fishing boats. This is the entirety of the town's evening, and it is over by about eleven.

No competing light for a long way in any direction, and the mountains block most of the glow from the UAE side.
