Al Myam Beach — Beach in Musandam, Oman

About Al Myam Beach

A remote isolated beach near Zighy Bay accessible only by boat or a long hike. White sand framed by the Hajar Mountains rising directly from the sea. Excellent snorkelling with limited visitor numbers.

Al Myam is one of Musandam's most pristine spots — only reachable by boat from Khasab or Dibba, which keeps visitor numbers extremely low. The snorkelling is among the best in the Gulf.
