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.
