Beach relaxation by the Indian Ocean
In Fujairah, we will stay in a hotel where lunch will be waiting for us. After that, you will relax on the beach with a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. Take air baths, swim, and if desired, explore the underwater world: at the hotel, you can rent a mask and fins. Beach relaxation will last until the evening, which means we have a whole day by the ocean.
