Khor Fakkan Corniche
خورفكان
Sharjah’s exclave port on the east coast, with a curving bay, a tidy seafront promenade and mountains all around.
Khor Fakkan is Sharjah’s exclave on the east coast, surrounded by Fujairah territory. Ports and headlands anchor both ends of its curving bay. The seafront boulevard has been renovated in recent years and offers a beach, walkways, restaurants and a children’s play area, and its lights are especially lovely at night. From here you can take a boat to Shark Island for snorkeling, or drive up into the mountains to Al Rafisah Dam or the Khor Fakkan Amphitheatre waterfall. It is about 30 minutes north of Fujairah city. The newly built Khor Fakkan Tunnel road leads toward Sharjah. Sharjah bans alcohol, so dress conservatively.
