Who they are
The Shihuh inhabit the steep mountains and inlets of the Musandam Peninsula, between the sea and barren rock. With an identity shaped by geographic isolation and a life divided between herding on the slopes and fishing along the coast, they preserve ancestral customs and their own linguistic variety. Islam structures their community culture, with no known Christian presence among them.
