Discover the new attractions of Kalba: Hanging Garden and Heritage Market

 
While Fujairah might be a head-turner due to its mountains, the surprise package in this city, surrounded by the Sharjah border, was definitely Kalba. Erase any images of city life because Kalba slides open slowly—friendly locals inviting you with their radiant smiles. This is evidence of their great tradition, and it feels so homely.

My first stop? The Kalba Kingfisher Park. Lush greenery enveloped me as I walked around the perfectly manicured gardens. Birds from foreign lands serenaded me with a natural symphony for the soul. The park itself was a haven of tranquility, dotted with charming paths and hidden nooks perfect for quiet reflection.

But all is not serene gardens in Kalba. It has a beautiful coastline too, and one should not miss the Kalba Corniche. Picture this: A postcard-perfect beach with soft golden sand and gentle waves lapping up the shore. I spent a blonde afternoon basking in the warm sun with waves lashing persistently but gently.

I was rumbling with hunger by mid-morning, in anticipation of a great breakfast. I chanced upon this small Turkish restaurant on some quirky side street called Two in One, promising an Anatolian culinary adventure.

From the warm hospitality to the stark decor and friendly service, everything seemed like it was giving a feeling of a warm hug since the very arrival. Their menu read much like a mouthwatering delicacy list, and so being a hearty breakfast enthusiast, I dived right in to what they offered with their Turkish breakfast.

Well, the Turkish breakfast was like an explosion of flavors. On the table were freshly baked pide, creamy cheeses, olives, jams, and savory menemen, which is a kind of scrambled egg. Each bite turned out to be a delightful dance of texture and taste that pointed to the rich heritage of Turkey's cuisine.

Two in One is more than a restaurant; it's an experience. A place for tasting traditional flavors of Turkish cuisine nestled in the warm atmosphere of Kalba makes it among the things that would get one going towards this gem unraveled.
