This is on the inspection list as a UNESCO world heritage site. Showcased the day to day life of the old Emarati’s in the area and their culture. It’s quite a joy and marvel to walk around the site and enter the doors to see the different “homes” and lifestlye they lived back then. The kids had a good time exploring the site!

500 years of Archaeology that you wouldn’t want to miss if you ever visited Khorfakkan and it is part of the serial nomination for inspection on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

This is another attempt to build tourist attraction. It will be a 1620 reconstruction of the Portuguese fort by the local Indian workforce using concrete blocks and ready mix. No thought about using traditional materials and methods such as the coral rock and lime type cement.
It is not. Good place for kids as is a construction site

To monopolize the maritime trade routes, the Portugese captured and invaded what was a thriving port town, razing houses to the ground and captured women and children and killed the men who resisted to protect their town.

موقع اثري وتعليمي وتاريخي وقلعه تم ترميمها وانشاء متحف بالقرب منها ليسرد قصة تاريخ البرتغاليين فالمنطقه.
بالقرب منه مدينه اثريه؛ تمشي بين البنيان الطيني القديم واستمتع بالاجواء والكوفيهات اللي هناك
