Located on the east coast of the Emirates, Khorfakkan is scenically the most beautiful part of the entire country. The town of Khorfakkan is set on the picturesque bay of Khorfakkan which means "Creek of Two Jaws".
The town has developed around the bay with the focal point of the economy centered on the expanding container port.
The first buildings you notice are the Oceanic Hotel with its porthole style windows and above, the Ruler of Sharjah's Palace, high up on the hilltop. From this roundabout a Ring Road (to your right) takes you around the back of the town and onto the road to Fujairah. The Cornice road circumvents the bay to the Port.
