Breathtaking Vistas at Sunset Viewpoint

Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car, start from the main town of Khasab. Head southeast on the main road (Route 1) toward Musandam's scenic coastline. After about 25 kilometers, you will reach the town of Hil. Look for the signs indicating the Sunset Viewpoint, which is located at the coordinates 26.1744534, 56.1960731. The viewpoint is about 5 kilometers from the center of Hil. Follow the local roads towards the viewpoint, and expect some unpaved sections, so a 4WD vehicle is recommended. Parking is available at the viewpoint.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you can take a bus from Khasab to Hil. Buses operate regularly, but it's best to check the latest schedule. Once you arrive in Hil, you can hire a local taxi to take you to Sunset Viewpoint, which is approximately 5 kilometers away. Ensure you negotiate the fare beforehand, as taxis may not have meters. Expect to pay around 5 Omani Rials for the trip.

• Walking

  For those feeling adventurous and if you're already in Hil, you can walk to Sunset Viewpoint. The distance is about 5 kilometers on foot, which will take approximately 1-1.5 hours. Follow the local roads, but be mindful of the traffic, as some sections may be narrow. Ensure you wear comfortable shoes and bring water, especially if you're walking during the day.
