The Masirah Channel or Masirah Bay[1] (Arabic: خليج مصيرة, romanized: Khalīj Maṣīrah[2]) is a channel between the Barr al-Hikman Peninsula and the Masirah Island in eastern Oman. Its southern end is a better entrance for ships, because the northwestern part of the channel close to the mainland is very shallow, and at low water it become largely dry, restricting the navigable width of the northern end to less than 500 m, making the channel more bay-like.[3][4][5]
