Khor Fakkan is an exclave of Sharjah on the east coast, surrounded by Fujairah's territory. For a planner, that means a pleasant place for a day by the sea, and a programme that may cross an authority boundary.
What it offers
- A sheltered, attractive shoreline and a promenade.
- A mountain backdrop close to the water.
- Hotels with meeting space.
- Good seafood and a relaxed feel.

Crossing the boundary
Because the town belongs to Sharjah and the surrounding land to Fujairah, a programme that spans both may involve two sets of authority requirements. We confirm this early.
Combining with a Fujairah evening
A day in Khor Fakkan followed by a designed dinner in a Fujairah hotel makes a coherent programme, with a short drive between them.
