What more could you want from a Sunday that's filled with beautiful ferry rides with the city's view, beaches, water sports, some delicious food and a trek to Korlai Fort and a watch tower?

About Korlai Fort:
Before the destruction, Korlai had been described by travelers as a "magnificent fortress as strong as any other in the world". The main entrance was guarded by a bronze lion and the highest tower by a bronze eagle. It housed 7,000 horses and as much men. Korlai fort was also strategically very important as it guarded the mouth of the bay and offered a clear crystal view of the Arabian!
