The old harbour at the eastern end of the inlet is a small commercial port, while the newer lagoon facility serves the navy and is being converted for commercial use. The town works mainly as a market and distribution centre for its agricultural hinterland and has taken on transshipment traffic as mineral exploration in the governorate has grown.
