Here is my first draft of an article to show you what the car journey looks like from Al Ain to Fujairah. It takes about 3 hours to get to the beach hotels there like Al Aqah Beach Resort (our favourite), Sandy Beach, etc.
If you have a Garmin satellite navigation device, or the Tom-Tom app on your iPhone, enter N 25°30′ E56°21′ to be directed to Al Aqah Beach Resort, which is metres away from the other hotels on this short strip of beach.
I don’t know how much use this will be to you, but it does show the kind of scenery along the way.
Here goes…
We set off Al Ain around 9am – and reached this petrol station just to the right of a roundabout around 10am…
90 mins later, here’s the view. Notice the way the mountain has been cut out in ‘steps’ in the middle of this photo…
5 mins later…
5 mins further on…
2 mins later…
4 mins later…
Another 4 mins later (!), fruit and veg sellers by the road side with the sign to Le Meridien behind them…
On the other side of the road too…
2 mins later, the sea on the left…
7 mins later, we reached this roundabout: the hotels Mirimar, Al Aqah, Sandy Beach etc are 10-500 metres to the right of here…
