Which three places on the Gulf of Oman coast are exclaves or semi-exclaves of the Emirate of Sharjah?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Khorfakkan, Kalba and Dibba Al-Hisn
- Step 1: Khor Fakkan is a city and an exclave of the Emirate of Sharjah on the Gulf of Oman, Kalba is an exclave of Sharjah lying on the Gulf of Oman coast, and Dibba Al-Hisn is a semi-exclave of the emirate of Sharjah bordered by the Gulf of Oman. Answer: Khorfakkan, Kalba and Dibba Al-Hisn. Why not the others: The sets Al Dhaid, Falaj Al Mualla and Masafi, and Ghayathi, Ruwais and Mirfa don't fit. Hatta lies in the Hatta enclave of Dubai, so that set doesn't fit either.
