2 Musandam<br />
This is Sinbad country; the kind of alien landscape that fans of 60s<br />
films could easily imagine being overrun with skeletal figures<br />
wielding swords and shields. Musandam marks the northern tip of<br />
the Hajar Mountains, with jagged heaps of uninhabitable mountain<br />
tumbling into the water. These ‘fjords’ offer some of the most<br />
spectacular scenery on earth. It is here that people come to spot<br />
dolphins, go diving, stay on traditional wooden dhows (old boats)<br />
or camp in isolated coves. A serene experience. Slightly less serene<br />
is the check-in to the Six Senses Hideaway in Zighy Bay (ww.<br />
sixsenses.com). This isolated cove is only accessed by speedboat,<br />
vertiginous 4x4 drives or, for the more adventurous, a paraglider.<br />
The hotel itself is spectacular, and mightily luxurious.<br />

3 Turtle Beach<br />
One of Oman’s many natural treats is turtle<br />
watching. Turtle Beach at Ras Al Jinz,<br />
about 30 minutes drive from the<br />
southern coastal town of Sur, is perhaps<br />
the best-known spot. Turtles lay all<br />
through the year, and in the early<br />
morning, you can see their offspring<br />
struggle down to the water’s edge.<br />
What to wear: Boss Green trainers<br />
and Boss Orange bag<br />
