Kumzar (كُمْزَار in Arabic) is a remote village located in the Musandam province, governorate of the Sultanate of Oman.
It lays in one of the most strategic trade arteries of the world, the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, between Oman and Iran, through which the majority of the world's oil exports are transported; however, it is very isolated and can only be accessed by boat.
The village is the second most populated town in the north of the country, and the northernmost among the inland population centers.
Kumzar has been inhabited for about 500 years, although it is not clear since when exactly. Already the first maps drawn by the Portuguese marked a settlement in the area where the city is today.
For centuries, Kumzaris have had front row seats to history. They have witnessed and even assisted invading armies of the world's great empires that have sought control of the Straight crucial to global marine trade.
The easiest way to get to Kumzar has always been from the mainland by boat.
Today it's possible to reach the isolated village with a speed boat or typical Dhow from Khasab.
There are two main theories on the origin of the name. The first states that the name originates from the Arabic phrase kam zara hatha al-balada min bashar, which expresses exclamation at the large number of visitors to the village. The first two words of the phrase - kam zara - eventually became Kumzar.
It Is located in the far north of Musandam peninsula. It is accessible by motor boats (45 minutes). The village is a small spot surrounded by mountains and cliffs which appear to be about to fall into the sea. "Alkumzaris" speak a local dialect, believed to be a mixture of Arabic and other languages.
