Kalba Attractions

Kalba is the most southerly village in the United Arab Emirates and the location of an important mangrove forest. The quaint charm of this old fishing village is still evident in the streets and shops of Kalba. The fruit and vegetable market is located along the seashore with the fish market next door.

Two noteworthy attractions in Kalba are the restored House of Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al-Qassimi and the Al-Hisn Museum. The defensive fort, now the museum, was built 150 to 200 years ago to provide observation and defense.

A large settlement dating back to 2,500 BC is being excavated, which will provide more pre-historical data for Kalba.
