The Musandam restaurant guide

Zighy Bay is worth crossing a border for.

Mountaintop tasting menus, Omani beach feasts and resort restaurants with actual reasons to leave the villa.

Musandam is destination dining in the literal sense. The first Plate Snob edit focuses on Six Senses Zighy Bay, where the strongest meals make deliberate use of the peninsula's mountains, beach and local culinary traditions.
