PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Khasab
01
Use Khasab historic core as the orientation base, then group Khasab historic anchor and Khasab market and food route before crossing to the other side of Khasab.
02
Give Khasab waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Khasab regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Khasab regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
