Visit Khorfakkan
Where the Hajar Mountains Meet the Sea
Sharjah's east-coast escape on the Gulf of Oman — beaches, mountains, and calm waters away from the city crowds.
Khorfakkan sits on the Gulf of Oman, framed by the Hajar Mountains — a port town on Sharjah's east coast known for its curved sandy bay, clear diving waters, and a slower pace than the west-coast cities. It is under two hours from Dubai and a world apart.
