The story of Khor Fakkan
Khor Fakkan, part of the emirate of Sharjah, is one of the few deep-water ports on the UAE's east coast, protected by mountains on three sides. Portuguese chronicles of the 16th century already mentioned its harbour.
In recent years it has gained a new mountain highway with tunnels, the Khor Fakkan Amphitheatre with its classical arches, a man-made waterfall and the Al Suhub viewpoint.
