Kumzar (Khasab) is the capital of the Musandam Governorate of the Sultanate of Oman, located on the Musandam Peninsula at the northernmost tip of the country, adjacent to the Strait of Hormuz and across the sea from Iran. Located in the Omani enclave, the city is surrounded on land by UAE territory and is known as the "Norway of Arabia" because of its strategic location at the entrance to the Persian Gulf.
Famous for its rugged mountainous terrain and crystal clear waters, Qomzar's economy is based on fishing, traditional wooden fishing boat building and a growing tourism industry. The area retains old Arab forts such as the Qumzar Fort and is one of the centers of dhow (dhow) building in Oman. The inhabitants are mostly from the Shahi tribe, and the culture is a mix of Omani inland and maritime.
In recent years, Qumzar has become a gateway for exploring the natural beauty of the Musandam Governorate, attracting tourists with its scuba diving, mountain adventures and Strait of Hormuz cruises. The city is connected to mainland Oman by sea, with air and land transportation transiting through the UAE, creating a unique geo-cultural landscape.
