How to get here
Situated on Oman's Musandam Peninsula, the resort is about a two-hour drive from Dubai International Airport (DXB), passing through impressive landscapes and descending over mountains to reach the bay. The property can arrange airport transfers and assist with travel planning. Adventurous guests may opt to arrive by tandem paragliding from 960 feet (293 meters) above sea level. Access is via the UAE through the Dibba border, so ensure visa requirements for both countries are met before arrival. Certain items like alcoholic beverages and drones are prohibited across the border; reviewing the list of restricted items is recommended to ensure smooth transit.
