Fujairah

If you’re passionate about the world that thrives underwater, then you absolutely should take a day trip out to Fujairah, the emirate on the eastern coast that’s mostly known for its beautiful coastline, beaches, and diving. The water here is warmer, thanks to currents from the Gulf of Oman, resulting in abundant and diverse marine life that you won’t find elsewhere in the UAE. Fujairah has some of the best dive spots in the country such as the Snoopy Island, Dibba Rock, and Martini Rock. Expect to see coral gardens, rays, triggerfish, lionfish, turtles, and more. While operators offer dives for beginners (equipment included), you can also choose to go snorkeling instead. Afterwards, enjoy a barbeque on your dive boat while you enjoy the views on your way back. Al Boom Diving also offers exciting night dives in Fujairah.
