Why drive to Khor Fakkan

Khor Fakkan sits on the Gulf of Oman, separated from the rest of Sharjah emirate by the Hajar Mountains. The town has a curved beach, a corniche, an amphitheatre, and easy access to mountain wadis, dams, and snorkelling sites. The drive from Dubai or Sharjah is itself a highlight — modern highways with mountain tunnels and viewpoints.

Public transport to and within Khor Fakkan is minimal. A rental car is the practical choice.
