Where can you find the best mangoes in the UAE? In Sharjah’s Khorfakkan, experts say. The lush mountains, valleys and fresh groundwater of Khorfakkan make it an ideal place to grow the sweet fruit. On Friday (June 28), the annual Mango Festival begins at Expo Center Khorfakkan. The event is considered the largest gathering of mangoes in the region, with participation from farmers, institutions, and people showcasing the “Queen of Fruits”. Mohammed Al Jawhari, the festival's general supervisor, said that more than 150 varieties of mangoes, varying in shapes, sizes, colors, and tastes, are expected to be displayed, all from local farms in the region and throughout the country. The festival also expects more than 25 farmers to participate. ICA/Expat Media
