Kalba, Coastal settlement in Emirate of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Kalba extends along the eastern coast of the United Arab Emirates, bordered by mountains on one side and the Gulf of Oman on the other.
The region of Kalba transformed from a fishing village into a developed city after the formation of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
Local markets in Kalba display traditional handicrafts, fishing equipment, and fresh catches from the Gulf, representing the daily life of residents.
Visitors can reach Kalba through the main highway network connecting major UAE cities, with regular bus services operating from Sharjah and Dubai.
The Kalba Mangrove Reserve contains specific species of crabs and birds that exist only in this particular coastal ecosystem of the United Arab Emirates.
