Travelstone: Khasab

Khasab Oman

The capital of the province is small but far from sleepy. Its market is alive with a mix of different languages, including Kumzari (a blended language of Arabic, Farsi, English, Hindi and Portuguese), and its harbour is a hive of activity, much of it involving semi-illegal trade with Iran. The smugglers are recognised by their souped-up fibreglass boats with outboard motors that line up along the creeks waiting for twilight to make the mad dash 55km across the strait to Iran. They bring money and character into town, so no one seems in a rush to get rid of them; besides, piracy has been a tradition in these parts for well over 200 years and locals respect a good bit of tradition.
