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.
