With winter approaching, travellers from the UAE can soon explore the beautiful landscape of Musandam easily and take a dip in the blue waters surrounded by hills.

From October 6, 2023, a new bus route between Musandam and Ras Al Khaimah will begin.

Taking to X, Ras Al Khaimah Transport Authority (RAKTA) announced the launch of the first international public bus, connecting Ras Al Khaimah with the Governorate of Musandam in the Sultanate of Oman.

The authority will operate a bus route which would begin from the main bus station in Ras Al Khaimah with the route concluding in the Wilayat of Khasab.

Two journeys have been scheduled at 8am and 6pm on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays with a total travel time of approximately 3 hours.
