During ebb tide, the northern inlet, Khor Al-Ama, is too shallow for navigation. The other inlet, Kohr Al-Mufateh, remains navigable for small boats with a water depth of about three feet. The Khiran harbor extends about one-half mile inside the Khor Al-Mafateh. This fully serviced marina accommodates 240 boats and yachts, while a 60-foot light house guides boats in and out of the harbor.
