Trip to Fujairah

                                         

We left for Fujairah on Monday.

As we started from Al Qusais, Dubai at 10:15 am, we filled the gas and headed for the road. We first entered sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Rd. then we caught the first exit to Maliha Rd. The rd. led us to the Sharjah- Kalba Rd which would lead us to Al Aqah, Fujairah. By 11:30 am we had taken the exit to Masafi, a small village in Fujairah famous for its Friday market.  Nowadays the market is open every day. We reached there and drank tender coconut water enjoying the view of the Hajar Mountains. Its a Photographers dream. The Market is famous for its carpets, nurseries & vegetables. The drive from here to Fujairah city is fabulous. red soil on one side and yellow on the other. By 12:30 am we reached the city. We stopped at the city tower hotel to have lunch. We got to KAIRALI restaurant and ate a delicious meal. We then left the city towards Khor Fakkan.

In Khor Fakkan We passed through the corniche road. It is a beautiful place to be in. Beautiful beach i must say.  We passed on to Al Aqah. We saw the coast on one side and the mountains on the other. The Resort was in sight. We reached the resort- “Sandy Beach Hotel and Resort”. We checked in to our beach side room. The room was pretty good. it was the ONLY resort with vacant rooms during the season. We went to the beach. The waves were strong. After that we swam in the swimming pool where I learnt how to swim. I enjoyed a lot. At night we walked around the beach towards the restaurant. We ate a meal of rice, chicken curry and spaghetti. The spaghetti tasted horrible but we had to adjust as they were the only things on the menu. After dinner we came back to our room and slept.


Tuesday
     I woke up amazingly late and rushed through whatever I had to do. Then we left to find the way to the famous Wadi Wurayah. We found the way, but it was an impossible route for a sedan. So we left for Khor Fakkan Corniche. Ah! So calming and serene. We spent an hour or so over there. We even went boating. We ate lunch from Golden fork restaurant. Then we came back to the resort and relaxed for the rest of the day. 

Wednesday
 The trip was wonderful. A truly memorable experience. We left the resort and headed home enjoying the beautiful scenery. so thats it then!


Top Concerns:

1. The rooms were very old. So choose your resort wisely.
2. The customer service was really bad.
3. The swimming pool was overcrowded and not clean.
4. No Indian food in the restaurant. Though we may get biryani through room service.
