Dubai പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട The face of the Khor Fakkan beach, a favorite destination of Malayalee tourists, is once again beautifying. The Sharjah Investment Development Authority (Shurukh) has announced the second phase of development projects on the Korfakkan coast, which is famous for its natural sea views.
There will be more restaurants, a gym and a fountain, as well as new playgrounds for children. The tourist facilities on the beach, which currently stretch for one and a half kilometers, will, with this, be two and a half kilometers. Khaula Zayed Al Hashmi, Director of the Shrookh Projects Division, said that further development work will be initiated under the guidance of Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, to provide the best possible tourism facilities for visitors and residents of Sharjah. The coast of Khor Fakkan is one of the favorite destinations not only for the locals but also for tourists from all over the UAE. The number of tourists visiting the place has increased significantly in the last two years. Khawla Syed Al Hashmi said that with further development projects, all the facilities required for tourists will be provided and many investment opportunities will be created in the region.
The first phase of the Dh55 million Khorfakkan Beach project, which was renovated under Shrook’s leadership, was opened to visitors in December 2019. Sheikh Dr. Sultan inaugurated the function.
The first stage, from the port on the south side of the beach to the roundabout, has facilities such as an amphitheater, sidewalks, children’s playgrounds, football, basketball and volleyball courts. The first phase will feature special picnic spots, restaurants, cafes, Islamic-style gardens, washroom facilities for seafarers, and special tracks for jogging and cycling. There is also a facility to park 315 cars at a time.
Khor Fakkan beach is also a place where nostalgic memories are presented to the Malayalees. This is where the stories of the first generation of expatriates who came in tens of thousands in search of gold-rich Gulf land began. The second phase of the renovation project will be completed by the end of next year. On the shores of the Khor Fakkan, 89 km from the city of Sharjah, extensive festivities take place on weekends and holidays.
