    Answers to your questions in the same order below.

    – Best route with side view
    * I dont really understand your questions but there is only one way by road to go to Musandam and its quite scenic. Route is Dubai-RAK-Khasab (the only town in musandam)

    – how many kilometeres to reach there (distance from dubai to there)
    *Less than 200km one way, but you could add if you are doing off-roading into the mountains.

    – which place i should go to (i heared about Khasab)?
    *Khasab is pretty much the only place there. But for attractions 1- Boat trip through several islands. 2- Offroad in the mountains towards Wadi Bih but you cant cross into it and would have to make a journey back to Khasab. I thinks its worth it as you get good view from the top. 3- Khor Al Najd – A nice route into the mountains and then descends onto the khor. 4- Khasab itself in the beach.

    – what type of car i should drive? i will not go offroad but it may be required!
    *Sedan is fine if you dont plan to go up in the mountains otherwise a 4×4 is required.

    – how about the accomodation there? hotel prices if posible?
    * A couple of hotels available 500+

    – where to go there and whats more than the nice view?
    * Check detail in your 3rd question but nice views, boat ride, ocean, swimming and offroad experience to answer your question.

    – any firther information will be great help
    Checkout my travel blog at http://www.familyoffroaders.com and click on jan2009 for musandam blog, you may find some info that will help you.

    There is one major question you forgot to ask
    – Time of the year to visit Musandam
    * It’ll be very hot these days but still people go out there according to their resistance and thirst for travel and enjoyment. So its your call.

    I hope this would help. I’m traveling from tomorrow and may not be able to answer any further query promptly but as soon as I get a chance, will reply.
