Editing Geography of Oman (section)

===Musandam Governorate===
The northernmost area, [[Musandam Governorate|Musandam]], extends from the tip of the Musandam Peninsula to the boundary with the [[United Arab Emirates]] (UAE) at [[Dibba Al-Hisn|Hisn al-Dibba]]. It borders the [[Strait of Hormuz]], which links the [[Persian Gulf]] with the [[Gulf of Oman]], and is separated from the rest of the sultanate by a strip of territory belonging to the UAE. This area consists of low mountains forming the northernmost extremity of the Western Hajar.<ref name="Lancaster&Lancaster2011"/> Two inlets, [[Elphinstone Inlet|Elphinstone]] (''Khawr ash-Shamm'') and Malcom (''Ghubbat al-Ghazirah''), cleave the coastline about one third of the distance from the [[Strait of Hormuz]] and at one point are separated by only a few hundred meters of land. The coastline is extremely rugged, and the Elphinstone Inlet, {{convert|16|km|mile|abbr=off}} long and surrounded by cliffs {{convert|1000|to|1,250|m|ft|abbr=on}} high, has frequently been compared with [[fjord]]s in [[Norway]].
