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.
