Al Rafisah Dam
سد الرفيصة
A reservoir in the mountains above Khor Fakkan, its emerald waters mirroring the peaks, with pedal boats and hiking trails.
Al Rafisah Dam lies in a valley west of Khor Fakkan city center, surrounded by the barren Hajar Mountains, and its lake glows emerald green. After recent renovations, the lakeside offers walking paths, viewpoints, restaurants, and pedal boat and kayak rentals. There are also mountain hiking trails and the ruins of an old village. It is about a 15-minute drive from Khor Fakkan city center and suits a relaxed half-day outing. Weekends bring many local visitors, and hiking is not advisable at midday in summer heat.
