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.
