Fujairah & Ras Al Khaimah. Take a step back in time.
To the east of the UAE lies Fujairah
on the Gulf of Oman coastline. It's emerging as a popular place for
travellers to stretch their legs away from the hustle and bustle of
Abu Dhabi and has a 'yesteryear' feeling to it, which often appeals
to the discerning explorer. As building work continues and more
facilities are created for visitors to the area, it has gained a
reputation as being authentic UAE with a modern twist.
Staggering mountain sides swoop down to golden sanded beaches in
Fujairah, leading to the clear blue sea which is just perfect for a
spot of snorkelling. This hidden jewel in the UAE offers the best
of both worlds; tranquil escapes in a rugged setting, abundant with
opportunities to both explore and relax, alongside top hotels
offering excellent service, food and facilities. When coupled with
a trip to a city like Abu Dhabi or Dubai, a journey to Fujairah can
feel like an entirely separate holiday.
Shop 'til you drop
From traditional souks to bright,
modern shopping malls, the emirate
of Ras Al Khaimah has everything to
offer the traveller seeking a small
memento or something more
extravagant to remind them of their
trip.
