Tucked along the eastern coast of the UAE, Khor Fakkan is a hidden gem laced with ancient history, azure waters, and pristine beaches. This coastal haven is a paradise for both heritage seekers and nature lovers.
Khor Fakkan — meaning "Creek of Two Jaws" — beckons with its untouched beauty and rich past. As the UAE’s second-largest port on the east coast and the only natural deep-sea harbour in the region, it has long been a gateway to the Arabian Sea. Wander its sun-kissed white sand beaches and snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, or trace the footsteps of ancient civilizations through archaeological remnants of Barasti huts and Portuguese outposts. With roots reaching back to the 3rd millennium BC, Khor Fakkan offers a serene escape where turquoise waters and timeworn stories converge.
