THE SCENIC EAST

East Coast, Dibba, Khorfakkan, Fujairah and Kalba conjure up a picture of ancient seaport towns, which are now modern resort cities on the coast of the Arabian Sea.

The circular drive to the East Coast passes through breathtaking scenery that immediately arrests the attention as we take the winding rout through the green oasis of Al Dhaid to the craggy rocky range of the Al Hajjar Mountains before descending to the coast. The crystal seas are perfect for both swimming and diving. Enroute we pass by Massafi – where fresh water springs are located. The town of Dibba is interestingly divided into three parts belonging to Sharjah, Fujairah and Oman. We’ll also see the oldest mosque at Badiyah.

At Sharm we’ll break for lunch and then proceed towards southward towards Fujairah, where you will find some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches of the Indian Ocean. Our visit will take us to the Fujairah fort and to the Citadel of Bitnah. At Masafi we will get a glimpse of the unhurried pace of rural life at a roadside market popularly known as the “Friday Market”.

HERITAGE TOUR
Sharjah

The Emirate of Sharjah, neighboring Dubai, was voted the cultural Capital of The Arab World in 1998 – a tribute of the city’s rich Islamic heritage.

We start our tour with a photo stop at the Quran roundabout where we will discover traditional Arabic architecture.

After a short drive, we pass in front of the Sharjah ruler’s palace and the Souq Al Majarrah with the Golden Dome. Our next stop is the Sharjah museum housed in Al Hisn Fort built around 200 years ago. It was the traditional residence of the ruling family. A tour of the museum and a short film will take us back in time and provide us with a rich insight into the history of the Emirates. A short walk will then take us to the Heritage Village. In golden times, this old souq was the Central Souq. Today, you can walk in this beautiful restored souq with its narrow alleys and buy old wooden dhows, dates and tabacco leaves.

Opposite the souq is the old Al Naboodah House, the biggest construction in the village.

Our tour then takes us to the vegetable and fruit market, the fish market, the King Faisal mosque with its Islamic center and the lagoon with its beautiful parks.

Our excursion will not be complete without a visit to the famous Blue Souq with 600 shops. Here you can shop for gold, carpets, antiques, perfumes and electronic items.

Day: Saturday
Price: 105 DHS (from Dubai with Catamaran 155 DHS)




THE EMIRATES GRAND CANYON
Mountain Safari

Starting from the East Coast of the United Arab Emirates, we enjoy the thrilling experience of the Mountain Safari that takes us through the Hajjar mountain range all the way to the West Coast on the Emirates.

Our ascent begins near Dibba – an ancient fishing port where we enter the territory of Oman (no immigration formalities required). Our 4 WD picks up its trial through spectacular canyons, steep rugged, winding tracks, deep gorges and terraced mountain sides.

As we ascend up to a height of 1,000 meters, we pass by old stone houses which are inhabited to this day and small villages where crops like tobacco are cultivated. At the summit, we stop for a picnic lunch amidst the scenic beauty of the mountains and wadis (dry river beds).

On our return journey, we descend into Ras Al Khaimah – the oldest sea port in the region and drive via the Emirate Umm Al Quwain and Ajman to Sharjah and Dubai.
