  • Nadafi: A small village with around 50 inhabitants, mainly fishermen. Accessible only by boat, the children travel by boat to school and stay in Khasab from Sunday to Thursday. The Oman Government provides fresh water tanks on the beach.
  • Qanaha: A small fishing village with stone houses blending into the cliffs, serving as a historical line of defense.
  • Sham: Another village with around 50 inhabitants.
  • Maqlab: A mountain village with around 10 houses, where residents earn their living through goat-herding and fishing. It is the shortest distance to the east coast, accessible by climbing over Jabal Maqlab.
