What is Kumzar village and where it is located ??

• Kumzār(Arabic: كُمْزَار), also written as Kumza, is a village located in Musandam, the northernmost province of Oman. It is the second most northerly inhabited part of the country, and the most northerly inhabited part on its mainland, located on the Strait of Hormuz. The village is isolated and only accessible by boat.
• Kumzar has been inhabited for approximately 500 years, although exact records are difficult. Early Portuguesemaps of the area highlight a settlement in the area.
• The isolated location of the village has harboured a separate language, Kumzari. The Kumzaris religious practice is based in Islam but with traditional folk values. The culture is distinct from the Arabic settlements in the area.
