Fujairah
Tourism Bureau was established in 1996
to market the emirate's considerable
tourist attractions, which include such
diverse activities as watching bloodless
bull-wrestling, visiting mangrove forests
and bird-breeding sites, or navigating
the steep mountain roads and narrow
gorges of the Musandam peninsula.
The area between Al Faqit and Al Aqqah,
just south of Dibba, is already a popular
destination for holidaymakers, thanks
to its long, sandy beaches and many
snorkelling and scuba-diving sites.
Fujairah
Tourism Bureau recently signed a contract
with the Belgian Three Corners Emirates
Company to build a 150-room resort in
Al Faqit. The Dh 34 million Fujairah
Resort will be constructed on 35,000
square metres. In addition, Emirates
plans to build a five-star, 200-room
hotel in Al Aqqah which will be operated
by Meridien Hotels. Several other projects
are also set to commence in the near
future: a spa in Ain Al Ghammour, two
diving centres in Dibba Al Faqit and
a large marina and golf course in Al
Aqqah near the Sandy Beach Motel.
