==Musandam==
If you find yourself in the incredible region of Musandam, hitching on boats between the coastal villages is possible. You may have to pay a fisherman to get you out of Khasab (ask at the long row of moored boats between the castle and the main road). I paid 10 OMR to get to Telegraph Island but didn't haggle at all. Then with a little sign language you can hitch a ride for free or cheap between the many villages which are only accessible by boat. There is a large population of Pakistani expats who are truly hospitable.
I didn't hitch on the roads in Musandam but it's probably the same as the mainland, if not easier thanks to the large numbers of Pakistanis and western tourists in 4x4s.
The castle in Khasab gives away free maps of Musandam.
