Kumzar Remote Village Speedboat Expedition

Venture to the northernmost settlement of the Arabian peninsula: Kumzar. Perched in a dramatic mountain crevice opening into the open waters of the Strait of Hormuz, this 700-year-old historic village has no roads connecting it to the outside world and can only be reached by sea. The villagers speak Kumzari—a unique language with roots in ancient Persian, Arabic, and Hindi found nowhere else on earth. Aboard a fast twin-engine speedboat, cruise past towering sea cliffs, see huge international cargo tankers on the horizon, and view the stone fishing houses, mountain goat trails, and historic harbor of this living cultural community.
