- Needs a car
How it works
Drive to Jebel Dhanna, take the ferry across, then walk between the Delma Museum and the historic mosques. The dhow races of the Delma Race Festival are the busiest time to go.
The catch
Getting there means a ferry from Jebel Dhanna on top of a three-hour drive, and the island has few places to eat.
