Al Haniyah (32°51'N., 21°31'E.), a coastal village, is situated amongst several sandhills which are surmounted by prominent forts. Anchorage can be taken, by small craft, in the entrance to a sandy cove which is entered 1 mile SW of the village. Local knowledge is required and shelter from S winds is afforded. Larger vessels can anchor off the entrance over a sandy bottom.
