	HORMUZ - RGS Expedition
		A study of the remains at the site in Ghubb 'Ali inlet indicated three periods of occupation extending from the Abbasid period to the seventeenth century when it is possible that the population shifted to the present village at the end of the inlet.
		Khasab itself could not be fully explored, but the small re-entrant in which the expedition's camp was sited had clearly been used by earlier occupants whose rubbish included fourteenth-century pottery and some fragments of good quality Chinese porcelain.
		Contemporary records refer to the population of Khasab taking refuge in the hills when the Portuguese landed, and some of these dwellings were identified by sixteenth and seventeenth-century pottery.

	The Dolphin Tourism,Musandam Khasab
		Wilayat Khasab is located in the farthest north of the Governorate of Musandam, overlooking the Gulf in the north, and Oman Sea in the east.
		The name ' Khasab ' is attributed to the fertility of the land as termed in the Arabic language.
		Although Wilayat Khasab resembles a tongue stretching out into the sea and its underground water faces a tremendous pressure of the saline waters from all sides, nevertheless Khasab water is the sweetest of all in the Arabian Island.

	Musandam April 2005
		Flying is easy but because of the short landing strip in Khasab between steep mountains a bit sensitive to weather conditions and therefore prone to cancelled flights.
		After a scenic landing on Khasab airport we were picked-up and brought to the Khasab Golden Tulip Hotel, only a short drive through 'downtown' Khasab and along the seafront.
		The area is rapidly being developed with a new harbour and land being reclaimed from the sea (with sand sucked-up and piped-in).

		I will be in the UAE in November, and after flying Dubai to Muscat, and spending time in Oman, I am flying from Muscat to Khasab and then overlanding back to Dubai.
		If you book a day trip to Muscat as a total package the agent is going to do your return flight, they will then simply arrange for a Muscat based operator to meet you, take you on a day tour, whichever you choose, and drop you back at the airport.
		Khasab was pretty barren, the main economy is from the Iranians who make nightly visits across the Straits to barter their sheep for cigarettes, although tourism is catching on.
