Stroll through the old souq, where spice merchants and textile traders still haggle under weathered awnings, or enjoy a quiet afternoon at the corniche watching dhows drift on the horizon. The town’s relaxed pace offers a genuine slice of Emirati life away from the high‑rise glitz of the cities. Fresh seafood grills and aromatic Arabic coffee are local staples, and the nearby mangroves provide a haven for birdwatchers.
