About this experience

This three-hour journey will take you to one of the most popular beaches on the East coast. From your Gray Line luxury vehicle, admire the beautiful and dramatic twists of the Hajar Mountains, as we stop at the traditional and popular 'Friday Market', which is a pillar of the region's history. Next, pass through booming agricultural areas and see the picturesque fishing villages of Khorfakkan and Dibba. Here, indulge in a swim as you watch the fishermen cast their lines and have a break for lunch at the majestic Sandy Beach Hotel for a memorable meal. You will also have the chance to visit the oldest mosques in the UAE and discover the ancient 'Ghost City, as well as the Emirate of Fujairah's Portuguese fort. Fujairah is a remarkable Emirate, with the glistening coastline extending from the mouth of the Arabian Gulf down to the Indian Ocean; it has long been a major trading port. Then we will head back to Dubai after 1h30 approximately of driving and a long day.
