Khor'fakkan
United Arab Emirates
A coastal town on the Gulf of Oman belonging to the emirate of Sharjah, Khor'fakkan sits where mountains curve around the shoreline to form a natural harbour. White-sand beaches meet green-blue water, while date palms, fruit orchards, and freshwater springs lie inland against the mountain backdrop. The port here is one of the UAE's principal sea outlets on the Gulf of Oman, operating outside the constraints of the Strait of Hormuz.
