or visitors prepared to pay a fee. However, there are beaches that can be enjoyed at no cost whatsoever or for a minimal charge. Lifeguards, clean sand, showers and changing rooms are ever present. Jumeirah Beach and Al Mamzar Park have just been awarded blue flag beach status.
Swimmers should note that Dubai beaches may look calm, but are notorious for strong currents. So, please take care and caution when swimming.
Take to the ocean and soak up the glorious sunshine that continuously warms Dubai. The Jumeirah Beach region stretches along the coast of Dubai, between the mouth of the Dubai Creek and The Palm. Consisting of boardwalks, parklands, restaurants, cafés, towering residential buildings and private and public beach areas, Jumeriah Beach is the perfect place for families and those who love to get out and enjoy the sun and the sea! The World Islands are visible from Jumeirah Beach.
Located 4km off the coast, this artificial archipelago, constructed to represent a world map is something to behold. Jumeriah Beach is home to the seven-star Burj Al Arab hotel. This sail-shaped building is iconic and stands 321m above sea level, just offshore on a triangular man-made island.

Fujairah Fort

His story remains an enigma and nobody knows when and by whom it was built, although he is

often mentioned as the oldest in the country. It was most likely built between the 16th and the 19th century (a wide variety of dates circulate in books and on the Internet). The fort is built on top of a rocky promontory around a well. It was once the center of the city. Today it is located slightly behind and dominates an area dedicated to the conservation of heritage with about forty old adobe houses, that is to say in bricks made of clay mixed with straw, all cured in the sun . These old houses are being restored and form a village heritage (indicated on some plans as Old Town), not yet really ready to welcome tourists.
If the origin of Fujairah Fort remains unclear, we know that it was occupied by the Whabbites between 1808 and 1810. It was abandoned in 1925 as a result of the British naval bombing, and it was only 1997 that the emirate's cultural authority rediscovers its potential and decides to launch a three-year restoration program. Fujairah Fort reopened to the public in 2010.
Fujairah Fort lies in the city of the same name, in the emirate of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates.
Although called a fort, I would definitely catergorize Fujairah Fort as a castle. It differs distinctively from all other forts in the United Arab Emirates.
Research showed that Fujairah Fort was built between 1500 and 1550. That would be during Portugese rule over the area, so I think it was probably built by the Portugese. Research also showed that it was rebuilt between 1650 and 1700.
It was built on a 20 meters high hill, overseeing the city and the coast, as it is only situated around 2 km from the coast. Fujairah Fort has an irregular ground plan which follows the outline of the rock it was built on. It has 3 round towers and one square tower, which probably served as a keep.
In 1925 Fujairah Fort was restored for a first time. Around 1960 one of the round towers and the square one had collapsed. But they were rebuilt during another restoration between 1998 and 2000.
Fujairah Fort can now be visited during daytime. Sadly enough it was closed when I came by. Too bad, I was very curious about its interior.

Al Ain

A one and a half hour drive from Abu Dhabi city, Al Ain is one of the world's oldest permanently inhabited settlements, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city abounds in picturesque forts. One of the UAE’s most historic buildings, Al Jahili Fort was erected in 1891 to defend the city and protect precious palm groves and is home to a permanent exhibition of the work of British adventurer Sir Wilfred Thesiger and his 1940s crossings of the Rub Al Khali (The Empty Quarter) desert. The redeveloped Al Qattara Fort is now home to a brilliant arts Centre and gallery, offering hundreds of modern exhibits within its walls and with spaces for a variety of workshops from pottery and painting to music and calligraphy.
Get to grips with our culture and heritage with a visit to the city’s museums. With three main sections - archaeology, ethnography and gifts, Al Ain National Museum lets you explore various aspects of UAE life, including Bedouin jewellery and traditional musical instrument collections. The former home of the late UAE founder, Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Al Ain Palace Museum houses a large collection of material about the ruling family. Visitors can tour the private rooms and gardens once occupied by the ‘Father of the Nation’.
For stunning views of the city, drive, take a cab or, if you have the stamina, cycle to the top of Jebel Hafeet – a rocky height dominating the city - via a winding highway. Rising 1,240 metres, this is the emirate’s highest peak, and UAE’s second.
Other attractions include the Al Ain oasis with its cool, shady walkways and a 3,000-year-old falaj irrigation system, and the camel market - one of the last few remaining. This date palm oasis has been recognised by the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) for its importance as a repository of genetic resources, biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Families should head to Al Ain Zoo – home to over 4,000 animals, and enjoy giraffe feeding, camel riding and ‘Elezba’ petting zoo. There are plenty of green public spaces for picnics and also playgrounds, a cafeteria and a train tour of the wildlife area. For a fun day out, try the renovated Hili Fun-City, the Gulf's oldest theme park, Watersports lovers need to try Wadi Adventure, the region’s only man-made white water rafting, kayaking and surf facility built in the foothills of the majestic Jebel Hafeet. The park’s 3.3 metre man-made surf wave is the world’s largest and its 1.7 kilometre kayaking channel network is the world’s longest. For a taste of the fast track, head to Al Ain Raceway and burn rubber at its 1.6 km go-karting track - Arabia’s largest.
