Dibba Al Fujairah

Dibba fishing harbour at dawn: traditional wooden Arabian dhow boats moored alongside a stone jetty in calm turquoise Gulf-of-Oman water, with the rugged steep brown peaks of the northern Hajar Mountains rising directly behind the harbour and soft pink-and-amber dawn light
Dibba Al Fujairah is the Fujairah-emirate portion of the historic coastal town of Dibba, set on the Gulf of Oman at the foot of the Hajar Mountains. The town is the UAE's main jumping-off point for full-day dhow cruises into Oman's Musandam fjords, alongside a working fishing harbour, public beaches, and several of the east coast's best dive sites.

Al Aqah Beach

Al Aqah Beach in Fujairah at sunrise: empty east-coast white-sand beach with calm turquoise Gulf-of-Oman water and the rugged steep brown peaks of the Hajar Mountains rising dramatically directly behind the beach, soft pink and amber dawn light across the sky
Al Aqah Beach is the flagship public and resort beach on Fujairah's east coast — a 3-4 km stretch of soft, golden-white sand on the Gulf of Oman, backed by the dramatic Hajar Mountains. Snoopy Island sits a short swim offshore for snorkelling, and several beach resorts offer day passes alongside free public sections.

Snoopy Island

Snoopy Island offshore from Al Aqah Beach in Fujairah: a small distinctive rocky island whose silhouette resembles a sleeping cartoon dog, surrounded by calm turquoise Gulf-of-Oman water, with a strip of soft sandy beach and low palms in the foreground and the rugged Hajar Mountains rising in the background
Snoopy Island is a small rocky island roughly 150-200 metres off Al Aqah Beach on Fujairah's east coast — the UAE's most popular shore-based snorkelling and diving spot. The reef around it teems with clownfish, parrotfish, turtles, and small reef sharks, all reachable by swimming out from the beach.
