The Musandam Governorate (Arabic : محافظة مسندم) is a governorate of Oman. Geographically, the Musandam peninsula juts into the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow entry into the Persian Gulf, from the Arabian Peninsula. The Musandam peninsula is an exclave of Oman, separated from the rest of the country by the United Arab Emirates. Its location gives Oman partial control, shared with Iran, of the strategic strait. In the northern section of Musandam, around Kumzar, the language is Kumzari, which is a southwestern Iranian language closely related to Larestani and Luri. The Musandam Peninsula has an area of and a population of 31,425 people. Musandam is a picturesque region separated from the rest of Oman, with its scenery being quite attractive to tourists. Access to the peninsula was formerly rather difficult, with the only options being limited flights or a ten-hour drive through four immigration posts. The world's fastest passenger ferry service between Muscat and Musandam was launched in August 2008 to alleviate this problem and make the region more accessible.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= World's fastest passenger ferry )〕 ==Provinces== Musandam Governorate consists of four provinces (wilayat): *Khasab *Bukha *Dibba Al-Baya *Madha, itself an exclave, located half-way between the rest of Musandam and Oman proper Khasab town is the regional center of the Governorate.
