This scenic stretch offers an interesting blend of modern leisure and traditional charm, with its bustling fish market, historic forts, and cafés. As the sun sets, the Corniche transforms into a lively tapestry of illuminated dhows and ambient street life, making it an ideal spot for a sunset stroll. Unique to this coastal gem, the Corniche also boasts striking views of the nearby Al Jalali and Al Mirani forts, which stand sentinel over the bay, adding a touch of historic grandeur to your leisurely exploration.
