Khasab. M8. Roos al Jibal ( Mukhi ). Musandam.
We were on a leisure trip of Khasab city in Musandam peninsula of Oman.
I decided to try an easy hike early in the morning to experience Musandam sunrise.
This is a marked trail with 2 options.
M8 Roos al Jibal with ancient abandoned village view.
M8a with Sea view trail, which I didnt try.
Both trails start in front of Atana Hotel near Bassa Beach. There is proper parking available in front pf the hotel.
You can park somewhere here.

The trail starts on an washed out offroad with Yellow, white, red Oman trails flag paint markers.
Soon the trail gets off the offroad and towards the mountain surface.
You have some nice views of the Sea, the Khasab coast road and on the other side you can see the Khasab town.
The views are really impressive.
At somewhere closer to midpoint, you can see the signs for M8a Sea View trail connection with exposed areas, and I didnt take that route.
I continued leftwards till I reached the abandoned village and made my own summit.
I returned back the same way back.
This trail is a beginner plus grade, well within the city limits and within the telephone network.
