    The team fulfilled my request for the simple and small cake for my sister's birthday. A small thought that changed the life of people. Continue to give more of extra service that even cause you small amount or effort to give happiness to your clients. With this, God will bless you more and to your business. Thank you for the experienced although the weather is too hot, we manage to explore the place. I suggest to visit khorfakkan during winter time. Its too hot during summer and I bet you don't like it ahahha. But I suggest also that the driver should be the photographer. Cos clients needs to have someone who can take the photo of all the tourist. See more..

    Al Rabi Hiking Trail image
    This was my first experience of trekking a mountain, it was an awesome experience though I realised how unhealthy I had become esp. the up-hill climb was quiet challenging for me. The view from the top is amazing and serene that you could take young kids as well, as my boys were very enthusiastic to get to the top. It is located in Korfakkan, little over an hour's drive from Dubai. I recommend to leave early in the morning as it does tend to get sunny during the day and might make it difficult for 1st timers like myself. See more..

  13. 4.0 Al Rafisah Dam (31 reviews)
    - Enjoy nature at its best!
    Bodies of Water
    Al Rafisah Dam image
    Relaxing place to visit for free! Al Rafisah dam offers Kayaking, the dam, lounge, hilltop view, the side walk, play area and more! This place is small but very clean and well maintained. They have kayak and pedal boats (expensive comparing hatta charges - for unlimited). Fishing is not allowed and will be fined however you could feed the ducks there. Visit during evenings considering the climate now. If thats ok, reach in the morning itself! Other facilities include clean washrooms and prayer room, kids play area in good condition. Major drawback is that since it is a small place, it is extremely crowded during weekends and evenings. Getting a parking could be a miracle! In short, Nature at it's best! See more..
  14. 4.0 Khorfakkan Waterfall (14 reviews)
    - The Great Fall
    Waterfalls
    Khorfakkan Waterfall image
    An excellent piece of attraction in this small mountain-covered magical town. It is huge and gives a nice feel of life at the forefront of Corniche road. You can park the car on the side and really stand near to it for an amazing feel and photography. If going with kids, they will not move an inch away from there (take extra clothes or towel). Soon there will be a restaurant open on the top of fall. I am looking forward to having a tea there. See more..
