Al Khan

Al Khan is a southern suburb of the city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.

The suburb is located on the Al Khan Bay, which serves as a boundary between Sharjah and Dubai.

[1] Al Khan was the scene of a firefight between the leaders of the rebellious Majlis movement and forces loyal to the Ruler of Dubai in February 1940.

Curiously, it seemed that the tradition of using the shoreline of Al Khan for mooring fishing boats and enjoying a cookout, had been kept up for thousands of years from the neolithic age to the present day.

The survey being carried out by the Maritime Archaeology Stewardship Trust, has recovered the remains of houses, courtyards, and remnants.
