Kalba

Kalba

Kalba is a traditional fishing town with old forts and a museum, the most southerly settlement before the border with Oman.

Khor Kalba : The tidal creek just south of Kalba, the southern most tip of the UAE’s Gulf of Oman coastline is the site of the oldest mangrove forest of Arabia and an important conservation site for endangered species. This tranquil and beautiful landscape with its dark green mangroves, contrasts sharply with the purple - tinged, rocky Hajar Mountains and shimmering blue waters.

The main hotel in Kalba is Breeze Motel (Call +971 (9) 2778877).
