Khasab Airport: flying to Musandam

Khasab Airport serves Musandam, Oman's exclave at the Strait of Hormuz. It is a small domestic airport whose main role is connecting Musandam with Muscat without crossing the UAE.

Flights

Domestic flights operate between Muscat and Khasab, taking about an hour and a quarter. Schedules are limited and can change seasonally, so book ahead and confirm times.

Why fly

Flying avoids two border crossings through the UAE, which matters for travellers whose visas do not allow easy entry to the Emirates and for residents of Oman travelling with families.

Alternatives

• By road from Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE, about two hours from Dubai, crossing the border at Al Darah/Tibat.
• By sea: fast ferry services between Musandam and the mainland have operated; check current schedules.

On arrival

The airport is a few minutes from Khasab town. Tour operators meet guests for dhow cruises and mountain trips, and car hire is limited, so arrange transport in advance.
