Its fort and heritage village sit above the town, the old Al Bidya mosque stands further north, and Snoopy island off Al Aqah is a popular spot for snorkelling and diving. The wadis and villages of Dibba and Wadi Wurayah give access to the mountains, and Khor Fakkan lies along the coast. October to April is the best season; summer is hot and humid.
