A Walkthrough To The Past

The Telegraph is an extensive curved rock that is located about one mile away from the coast of Musandam peninsula and the name originated as a result of the telegraph-cable repeater station built on the island in 1864. You can still observe the ruins of the repeater station and operator’s quarters that remain deserted.

The island played a major role in making communication between India and Britain initially and then with Persian and Turkish governments back in days. At the time, several British soldiers were stationed on the island, most of whom were stuck there for months in severe summer heat making life extremely uncomfortable.  The outpost was later abandoned for these reasons, but the island has now become the supernatural piece for snorkeling and fishing.
