Other Fujairah accommodation options…
There are many more beautiful family-friendly resorts along the east coast of the UAE, but if beach resorts aren’t your thing there are of course plenty of other options available.
For those wanting a convenient city location in Fujairah, the Nour Arjaan by Rotana and the Novotel Fujairah offer a high standard of accommodation at a reasonable price within the city of Fujairah.
If you’re looking for something a little quirkier, perhaps consider booking a stay at Alshahad Farm, a traditional farmhouse with, rather conveniently, no mobile signal allowing you a chance to really escape from it all! Or perhaps take a look at The Retreat, a tented eco-camp (located near Khorfakkan) a great place to reconnect with nature and each other!
