Dibba, UAE

Dibba is about forty kilometers north of Khorfakkan. Part of Dibba is inside Omani territory but you hardly notice except for a few flags and a couple of BP gasoline stations. There is a museum, a small harbor and an interesting souk you can visit. It is a good starting point for safaris into the Musandam pennisula. Don't forget to bring your passport with a valid visa for Oman. Four-wheel drive vehicles are necessary. (Photo courtesy of Awni Shiblaq, Hadara Bookshop, Dubai)
