We all know
about the popular Dubai and Abu Dhabi tourist destinations but what about the
rest of UAE!!! Here we bring to you some hidden gems from the country that will
make your holiday to the country a much more enjoyable one while you discover
some great new places to visit to…
Khorfakkan
Located just
25kms away from the Fujairah town center, Khorfakkan is a quiet beach stretch
ideal for families. However the real secret of the beach is picturesque space,
also known as Heart Beach that lies to the north end of the beach. Though it
involves a bit of trek that takes about 15 minutes max, perhaps the reason why
the place is still unspoiled, the spot that you will get to will be well worth
the effort. The spot that you will find is so scenic that it could well be
termed as a part of some masterpiece painting. The place is pure uninterrupted
heaven with soft white sands and gentle blue oceanic waters. To add more to the
whole experience, head back to the nearby Oceanic Hotel which offers some great
diving and snorkeling tours.
Musandam
Located on
the northern tip of Oman, Musandam offers some great beach fun for you and your
family. Head on to the Khasab port and haggle with the fishermen to take you to
a secluded bay. It is your luck where you end up as the place is full of both
beautiful as well as spoiled coves. However, the trick is to keep going until
you reach the perfect spot which are aplenty and offer you a slice of paradise
all to yourself. Do wait up till nightfall when the phosphorescent algae in
water make every splash seem like an underwater firework display. So what are
you waiting for…Head on to this beautiful paradise and make your trip a
memorable one!!!
Dibba
If described
in a single word, the place can only be termed as ‘stunning’. This eastern
coastline consists of some beautiful unspoiled and hidden beaches that are so
remote that can only be accessed by a fishing boat or a six hour hike. Two of
the most isolated beaches of the country can be found on this shoreline- Al
Myam and Haffa. Al Myam is more exposed with its white sands framed with Hajar
mountains and a small fishing community. Though the tourists are not allowed to
walk on the beach, you can have some great fun from your boat itself along with
some snorkeling. For someplace less remote, there are various other beaches in
Dibba where you can enjoy some great views and deep blue waters.
Ghantoot
Just 20
minutes away from the bustling Dubai, Ghantoot beach makes you feel like you
are a world away from real life with not a big hotel or crane spoiling the
view. With white sands and turquoise blue waters, the place has just handful of
people at any possible time that you would struggle to overhear the
conversation of the nearby loungers. To add to the experience, there is a quaint
little hotel named Golden Tulip nearby with a great café. When the night falls,
head on to the other end of the beach that has a small bar which comes alive
with people playing volleyball and having barbeques. If you are looking for the
dual fun of peace as well frolics, Ghantoot is the right choice for you.
Ras Al Khaimah
This small
UAE Emirate has some of the most pristine and most beautiful concealed beaches.
There are beaches that are pure white headland while clear unobstructed waters
that lap on to the soft sandy beaches. There are no facilities on the beach
making it one of the most pristine of all but you can find some great fun at
the nearby hotels.
These are
just a few of some hidden gems of UAE. Head on to these beaches and enjoy your
own great Arabian Nights Adventure.
