Fujairah

We just came back from a mini road trip across the UAE to another of the 7 Emirates - Fujairah. We were unlucky with the weather over the weekend - cloud, rain and then perfect sunshine as we got in the car to come home!! Anna and Dan managed to fit in some diving, although it was a shallow dive and they didn't see any Nemos but Anna did see a turtle which is pretty cool.

Fujairah the town is a fairly small beach resort with a strip of the usual 5 star suspects, we had a lovely meal in Le Meridien last night which was the nicest hotel there any much nicer than the 1970's Sandy Beach hotel which we opted for - I admit I am becoming a Jumeriah Jane and was so happy to see the lovely Shangri La when we got back tonight!!

On the way home we stopped off in a random town called Dhaid for an Indian, we were the only ones in there not eating with our hands and were being stared at with fascination by all the customers - but really great food for a place totally off the tourist track.

We also stopped on the motorway to take a shot of the camel crossing sign - how great is that?
