Al Adha... Sleep under the stars on a Desert Safari Dubai or go check out the

Fujairah
Fujairah is the only one of the seven emirates in the
UAE that lies on the eastern shores of the UAE facing the Arabian Sea beyond
the Gulf of Oman. The other six emirates are located along the Arabian Gulf
side.
Apart from its own natural beauty that has the elements
of sea, the beach, old town charm and mountains, all rolled into one, Fujairah
also has attractive places such as wadis and Masafi and Dibba etc.
Masafi is a town in Fujairah located along the Hajar
Mountains. In Arabic it means “opera water”. In the past Masafi was a trading
post and refueling station, but it has grown to be recognized along the
country, also because of its natural springs that give rise to a famous brand
of mineral water in the UAE.
The village is divided in to two parts; the larger
section belongs to Fujairah and the smaller belong to emirate of Ras Al
Khaimah.
Masafi is famous for its Friday Market for shopping.
Despite its name, the market is open all seven days of week. It is located
along the Dubai-Fujairah road, as you approach Masafi. It is a must-stop place
for tourists who can pick up earthenware, rugs, souvenirs, antiques and even
garden plants and fruits and vegetables along the way.
Fujairah has many wadis, whose dry riverbed fills with
gushing streams following the rains.
Tourists can enjoy the sport of wadi bashing at Wadi
Saham, Wadi Siji and Wadi Al Wurayah, which also hosts a 24-7 365 days a year
waterfall and a cool green pool with its own little fishes. Wadi Ham is the largest and longest in Masafi
area.
Wadi Siji can take you to Al Zaid and Umm Al Quwain.
You can enter in from Dhaid.
Another place in Fujairah is Dibba, a small but very
beautiful coastal port town with distinguished Omani and UAE architectural
styles.
Fujairah hosts some fine hotels where tourists and
relax after a long drive.
