United Arab Emirates is a country of myths and legends.  Yes, we all have heard about the insane luxury: the iconic Burj Al Arab, one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, or Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world. We all have also heard that it is a desert with very hot summers. None of the myths is untrue. While UAE is a desert land with summer temperatures going up to 50 degrees Celsius, it is also a paradise for water sport fans (discussed in  Water Sports at Arab Turquoise  ) with rock landscape in the area of Fujairah, beloved by fans of rock climbing residing in UAE.

Fujairah is UAE’s smallest emirate, situated between two pieces of Oman territory, and overseeing the Gulf of Oman. Fujairah is the only of the 7 emirates which does not have an Arab Bay coastline. The city of Fujairah is small and rather regular, but what makes Fujairah a must-see during your visit in UAE is its stunning natural rocky landscape, presenting such a great and natural contrast to skyscraper view of Dubai. Fujairah is an excellent destination for weekend get-aways and a guarantee for relaxation away from noisy and stressful city. The emirate can be reached easily by 2 hours’ drive from Dubai. There are many accommodation options in Fujairah, also including availability of luxurious hotels (e.g. Fujairah Rotana) located conveniently between the Oman Bay coastline and Fujairah rocky landscape, presenting you with stunning view, whichever way you look!
