Description
On the Gulf of Oman on the eastern coasts of the United Arab Emirates, a suspended Khor Fakkan is most well known as a main container shipping port; there are almost always ships facing up to load, unload or refuel.
But Khor Fakkan offers many things beyond the port. The palm tree-lined Corniche spreads from the port to the Oceanic Hotel, with, parks, playgrounds, gardens, and kiosks dispersed along the beach. A fish and food market gives visitors a glimpse into local life, whereas the Badiyah Mosque, placed just outside of town, has a history to the fifteenth century, marking it one of the UAE’s eldest places of worship.
