Khorfakkan is a pleasant
place to while away the time between dives or for staying overnight. There
are restaurants of every of every kind, Arab, Indian, Iranian, continental
and fast food. The pace of life is much more relaxed than in Dubai or Abu
Dhabi. You can walk along the Corniche (beach boulevard) and shop
in the local souk. Khorfakkan is a good place to buy fresh fish
and for viewing picturesque dhows loading cargo for African and
Asian ports. The people, both local and expatriate, are friendly and helpful.
If the weather is not too hot you may enjoy a picnic on a nearby beach
or in the shade of a big acacia tree. Come to Khorfakkan. You'll take some
pleasant memories of this peaceful town back to your own country. Photo
