Hope someone can help.

Hi, my husband has accepted a job in Fujairah and we are trying to find websites of rental accommodation to look at before we go in October. I've tried Gulf news but cant see any for this area. Also, does anyone know if full uk Sky tv packages are available there? We are 50+ so details of expat groups would be very helpful too. Thanks.

Hi - me again!!! We are now thinking of staying at the Fujairah Rotana but it would be on a room only basis. Does anybody know if the hotel is strict guests bringing their own food in? Thanks!

Hi just wondering if anyone could help me please? Are there 2 Miramar Al Aqah hotels? Is one Iberotel? I am thinking of booking but am slightly confused if there is one or two Miramar hotels! Also are the restaurants in the hotels non smoking?
Thanks!

anybody knows what is the best place for diving in fujeirah? and how far is the place from Le Meridien Hotel?
Ive heard Dibba rock is the best for divig. Is it far from the Le Meridien? What about musendam?
Last time I was in fujeirah we stayed at "Royal Beach" on the east coast and dived with "freestyle divers". is that the best place to go to dive or there are any other better places to go?

Hi All.

I am looking to rent a Yacht or a big boat or a cruise in Fujairah for a full day.

Can you guide me to a person or a company that offers such a service?

Hi, I live in Ireland and am meeting an Australian friend in UAM for Christmas this year. We chose to fly to Dubai as it is approximatelly half way for both of us to meet. Neither of us know anything about UAE so I am hoping someone out there may be able to help us. I have spent hours online looking for somewhere nice to stay and anywhere I like seems to be booked up, like Le Meridien Al Aqah Beach Resort for instance.
I have chosen Fajairah as it seems to be away from the Hussle and Bussle, looks very romantic, and less expensive than "down town Dubai"We would also be big into spa treatments and general "Chilling Out" type holidays with maybe a couple of wild nights out thrown in for good measure !!!!
I expect to arrive on 20th December and stay for 12 nights.

Hello, I am currently living in Dubai with my husband and daughter but we are soon to move to Fujairah. Appreciate any helpful hints on best housing areas, local expat groups, child nurseries, etc etc etc. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Are there nice malls near Merridian Al Aqha hotel, or any other place of interest close to the place?

Hi Friends

Are there nice places to visit during the late evening/night.

i've been offered a job at Fujairah. I would wish to bring my family over there. weather furnished accommodation (2 bedroom flat) are available there and how much it will cost?
Apart from that what are the formilities are to be carried out for settling the family over there?(redential visa's /permit)

After reading about the crazy driving in Fujairah - and me being a nervous driver - are taxis a safe and reliable (not to mention cheap) alternative to driving a car myself?

Thinking of driving up from Oman for Eid and spending a few days here with my family. Has anyone stayed there and what is it like? The web site looks good, I was wondering if it was similar to the Omani resort Al Sawadi

Will be teaching in either Fujairah (UAE) or Guernsey (Channel Islands). Am not sure which place to choose. What do you think? Thanks everyone x

My girl friend and I are planning on a trip to Fujairah on our own (no travel agents) :-) I just do not know where to start. I have learned from the forum that there is a bus in Deira going to Fujairah. Where does it actually stop? Is it in Dibba? I want to visit the church in Dibba, any residents here who we can meet up with and help us in the tour? What else can we do in Fujairah? Is taxi ride there cheap? How about accommodations? Thanks.

Will be teaching (for 2 years) in Fujairah from August this year. I wondered what the locals / social scene / etc would be like? Any tips for me? Am a lone female of very limited travel experience.

Anyone has an idea how to get good price in that hotel for end of february?
thx

Any good spots?

Consistancy?

Dangers?

Thanks for your replies to my previous question!
There is no free hotel transfer. The hotel charges Dh250 for a ride(that can accommodate 6 people) but unfortunately I'm all by myself. That is really expensive.
I know I can take a taxi, it should be safe. But will a taxi charge more than Dh250? Does anyone have any idea?
I read from Lonely Planet that there is a mini-bus from Deira. Is it a safe and not-too-troublesome alternative for a single female?

I'll arrive in Dubai on 16 July and go to stay in Emirates Springs Hotel Apartments which is on Hamid Bin Abdulla Road. Does anyone know how I can get to the hotel at a reasonable cost and safely?

Hey,

we will spend our family holiday at Fujairah Beach Hotel Who know this hotel?
Is in Fujairah the possibility to ride (horses)?
Have you some information about sight-seeing in Fujairah.

Thanks in advance

As we have been a few times to Dubai we decided this time to have a change. We had decided on Abu Dhabi but after e-mailing hotels I found out that during Ramadan period there is absolutely no alcohol allowed not even in the hotels after sunset. Can anyone tell me if the situation is the same in Fujairah. Our travel agent says there's not a problem but I would like to hear from someone here regrding this.
Also has anyone been to the Meridien Al Aqah?

Thanks

Hi all...

Can anyone recommend me any nice inexpensive reataurants in the area? Or even better anything to do or see?

Is there anything at all in Fujairah??

ANY info is appreciated...

I have heard that Fujairah has some very nice snorkeling sites. Can someone please tell me about these and where we might also stay a night or two there at a reasonable cost? Are there places to snorkel right from the shoreline? Or do you have to take a boat? Can I rent my equipment (and at what approximate cost?), including a snorkeling vest, or can I buy a vest locally? I'm no longer a very strong swimmer, unfortunately, but I'm mesmerized by the beautiful fish and their habitats!

Thank you...

My boyfriend and I are going to Sharm on January 15th 2004 for a week. Is anyone else going to be there at the same time? Would be great to meet up with some people. I've been there before but my partner Mark hasn't. We're staying at the Dreams Beach Resort. Also, what's Sharks Bay like? Any other nice beaches about? And whats the cheapest way of getting to Mount Sinai?

P.S. Can't wait!!!
