Rafisa Dam is a great family location with play areas, affordable kayaking, doughnut and paddle boats, a lovely walk on the other side of the dam, seating areas and a restaurant, there’s plenty to do. There is now also a hiking trail from The Walk to Suhub Rest House



Rafisa sits just outside Khor Fakkan city and you can combine this with many other things to see and do there. For ideas, see my post on Khor Fakkan here.
