Khor Fakkan is Sharjah’s spectacular east-coast enclave — a curving corniche beach framed by mountains, and one of the most scenic day trips in the country. Part of our main Sharjah guide.
Where to eat
Seafront cafes and seafood restaurants line the corniche, perfect after a day on the sand.
Beach and things to do
The Blue Flag corniche beach, the man-made Khor Fakkan Waterfall, the hillside amphitheatre, Al Rabi Tower and diving around Shark Island make this a standout; see the UAE’s best beaches.
Getting there and around
About 90 minutes from Dubai through the mountains — best reached by car, and worth the drive.
