Deep in the Arabian Sea

Ashkhara is a sandy beach that is an extension of the Ashkhara port area. The beach, however, is serene and raw rarely visited by tourists. It is an ideal spot for exotic birds watching.

You will come across countless small coffee shops all along this route. These coffee shops are hole-in-the-wall kind of quick-stop restaurants where you can have various things to eat more than just coffee.

Shannah Port is the last mainland point from where you will be boarding the ferry to Masirah Island.
You can make a reservation for your car and all the passengers through the Oman National Ferries website.

There are plenty of empty and pristine white beaches in Masirah. Ras Hilf beach is one of the closest to the Jetty. The local fishermen on the beach are always eager to take tourists with them for fishing. There isn't any water activities facilities on the beach, carry your equipment for kite surfing, wakeboarding, or any other activities you want to try.

White Restaurant is very close to the main jetty terminal and is often the first stop for tourists visiting the island. The restaurant serves fresh seafood cooked in Indian, and Arabian styles. The restaurant operates from 6 in the morning till midnight.

SS Baron Innerdale massacre is still marked as one of the deadliest events in history of the region that occurred during 1905 when a ship lost its route and the crew headed to Masirah Island for refuge. All the seventeen crew members were killed by the locals, who were later convicted.
To honor the innocent people killed, this monument is standing tall since the 1970s on the tip of the island where the horrific incident took place. Locals welcome tourists who visit the site to their homes and offer food as compensation for how badly their ancestors treated the foreign crew on the island.

After a long day, visit the Masirah Public Park in the evening to watch the sun setting in the Arabian Sea.
