Getting There

Car
If you are traveling by car, start from Khasab, the capital of Musandam Governorate. Head southeast on the main road (Route 7) towards the village of Qadah. After approximately 20 km, you will see a sign for Jebel al Harim. Take the turnoff and follow the winding road up the mountain. The drive will take about 45 minutes, and you may encounter some gravel sections, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Make sure to take water and snacks as there are no facilities on the mountain.

For those using public transportation, you can take a local bus from Khasab to the village of Qadah. The bus ride takes about 30 minutes and costs approximately 2 Omani Rials. From Qadah, you will need to hire a taxi to reach Jebel al Harim as public transport does not go directly to the mountain. The taxi ride will take about 15 minutes and may cost around 10 Omani Rials. Ensure you negotiate the return fare with the taxi driver before setting off.

Guided Tour
Another option is to book a guided tour from Khasab, which often includes transportation to Jebel al Harim.
