Khor Fakkan Tours

1 Review

Perched on the Gulf of Oman on the eastern shores of the United Arab Emirates, Khor Fakkan is most famously known as a major container shipping port; there are almost always ships lining up to load, unload or refuel.

But Khor Fakkan offers appeal beyond the port. The palm tree-lined Corniche extends from the port to the Oceanic Hotel, with gardens, parks, playgrounds and kiosks scattered along the beach. A fish and produce souk gives visitors a glimpse into local life, while the Badiyah Mosque, located just outside of town, has a history dating back to the fifteenth century, making it one of the UAE’s oldest places of worship.

Practical Info

While there are a couple of accommodation options in Khor Fakkan, it’s also convenient to visit as part of a day trip along the coast from Dubai.
