Oman: Musandam A mountainous prong of the Arabian Peninsula narrows the mouth of the Persian or Arabian Gulf at the Strait of Hormuz.  The prong is an Omani exclave, separated from the rest of Oman by about 30 miles of U.A.E. territory.  The eastern extremity of the prong is the extraordinarily convoluted Musandam Peninsula.  The pictures here, however, show only the approach to that peninsula via the rugged north coast of the Omani exclave.
