Old British telegraph relay station
I read somewhere that the Musandam penninsular was the site of an old British telegraph relay station, which was so "off the beaten track", and extremely hot, that people sent there went "Round the bend" or insane, the origin of this term. Any further info would be welcomed, please contact Steve.Owad-Jones@oilsearch.com.au


 * I don't know whether you are still reading there, but this refers to Telegraph Island a little off the shore. I took a picture which is on commons at . -- Arcimboldo (talk) 04:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Map
The map shows Musandam as an island and not as a peninsula. Can someone please correct the map; I do not know how to do it.--Genossegerd (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the above comment from 2009 - map is extremely confusing. I had to study a non Wikipedia maps to make sense of the article and realise the lower "island" was exclave totally enclosed within UAE and the upper "island" was an exclave at the tip of the peninsula. Needs an outline of the UAE to make sense. I don't know how to change map either. Tiddy (talk) 06:16, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I guess all Omani articles are regularly maintained by someone there so just checked map again. Don't understand the reticence to amend map to show adjoining UAE territory. Although "exclave" is used in the main text I still believe most people would find this map very confusing. Tiddy (talk) 02:35, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Jan 2012 - Again - the map is not enlightening - looks like Musandam is an island. (By the way, its a fantastic place to visit.) My contribution is in regard to the photo, which looks to be the village we saw on our Dhow trip. We were told by Omanis that it was created by people ousted from where they were living, had no water supply until tanks were put in very recently, so relied on passing boats!! How did they survive?? You can see many of the houses look like they grew out of the rock.It still has no road in. Something of this would be good as a caption.

 * I've forwarded a request (for UAE border outlines) to the original creator of the map. Perhaps a request at WP:WikiProject_Maps may be in order as well. -- ToE 04:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am sorry for the confusion. I thought at the time that drawing it so would make it better. I guess I was wrong. I will try to Fix the map asap. --Tarawneh (talk) 11:07, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

The map is so much clearer. Thanks. Tiddy (talk) 04:26, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Why I separated Musandam Peninsula from Musandam Governorate
Musandam Governorate is mostly the Omani part of the Musandam Peninsula, not the peninsula itself. Part of the peninsula is ruled by the United Arab Emirates. Leo1pard (talk) 09:52, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
