At the peak of one of the mountains towering over the city of Khorfakkan, a leisure area called Al Suhub has been created. It features a restaurant, observation decks, a children’s play area, and, of course, parking. The location is accessible via a winding serpentine road that takes 5–10 minutes to drive. The peak sits approximately 500 meters above sea level, with the sea at the base, seemingly within arm’s reach.
From there, breathtaking views of Khorfakkan, its bay, the surrounding mountains, the Gulf of Oman, and about 100 cargo ships anchored far off the shore unfold before you. With its large panoramic windows (or the terrace encircling it), the restaurant offers a spot to grab a bite. If you dine at the restaurant, your parking fee is waived for the first two hours (after that, standard rates apply).
A little before reaching the peak, there’s another rest area with parking. Here, you’ll find food trucks (one of them is called Rajab Cafeteria), numerous tables for picnics and gatherings, and a playground. You can grab a very affordable meal at the food trucks, which is perfect for those who don’t want to spend much at the restaurant. The views here are also quite decent, though slightly less stunning than those from the top.
