The sea off the shore of the Musandam Peninsula is filled with amazing sights including dolphins, huge mountainsides and ancient villages scattered on the Omani coast, but the most impressive sight in this area is Telegraph Island; It is a small block of rock in the middle of the salty sea, which is the most important characteristic of the boat trip in the straits of Oman. The Telegraph Island, also known as Al Maqlab Island, is located at the entrance to Elphinstone, which is about 1.6 km from the shore of the Musandam Peninsula. It was named by this name Because it was in the past an active and important telegraph site for communication between India and Britain.
