______________
Khor Fakkan is perhaps not the most famous city in the United Arab Emirates but don't let that stop you exploring this Indian Ocean coastal destination. It is a stunning adventure paradise.

Khor Fakkan has something for everyone from hiking, fresh water walks and stunning lake kayaking.

I'm actually quite surprised not more people know about Khor Fakkan, or at the very least be aware of the adventures on offer there.

It is within a 90-minute drive from Dubai, and as well as the adventures on offer, is home to a gorgeous beach, hotels and a thriving local community.

Khor Fakkan is also home to some fascinating stories about the UAE’s past, from the city's former Portuguese rule to a perfect walk exploring the pristine Falaj system that was built over 3000 years ago to supply fresh water to local farms and villages, located at Wadi Shees.

In the above video, I give you an insight into the adventure highlights in Khor Fakkan and to read and watch more on each specific adventure, you can click on the links below.

My top three Khor Fakkan adventures:

Reasons to walk the Wadi Shees Nature Trail:
Family friendly
A brilliant insight into how communities 3000 years ago channeled fresh rain water from the mountain tops to villages and farmland
Flowing fresh water all year round can be found here, a rare sight and sound in the UAE!
30-40 minutes long, an easy walk for everyone
Full of vegetation, friendly locals

Reasons to hike the Al Rabi Mountain Trail:
A stunning summit overlooking the Indian Ocean, Khor Fakkan and Hajar Mountains
Moderately challenging but suitable for anyone with a base level of fitness
Easy to follow tracks that are well signposted with incredible views all around
Superb views of Khor Fakkan Container Port, the region's only natural deep seaport
3-4 hours round trip
Within 90 minutes from Dubai along the S142. No 4x4 needed

Reasons to kayak at Alkhor Kayak:
Really well priced with comfortable kayaks that can fit two adults and one child
Located just outside Khor Fakkan at the Al Rafisah Dam
