About Fujairah
Fujairah is the only one of the seven emirates with a coastline solely on the Gulf of Oman. Off Al Aqah on its northern coast, Snoopy Island, a small rock island surrounded by coral reef and clear water, is a popular spot for scuba diving and snorkeling. Al Badiyah Mosque, built in 1446 of mud and bricks, is the oldest surviving mosque in the UAE. Our Fujairah experiences are on the water: PADI courses, a first dive, private snorkeling with turtles and a dhow cruise into Musandam from Dibba.
- Getting there from Dubai
- The Sheikh Khalifa Highway, opened in December 2011, links Dubai and Fujairah. The Musandam trip includes shared transfers from Deira and Bur Dubai; the PADI courses can include pickup, and the other dives and the turtle snorkeling meet at the dive center.
- Best time to visit
- December to March, when daytime temperatures average around 25 °C. In summer they climb above 40 °C.
