One Last Trip Before Things Change

We are headed for Fujairah Monday. Fujairah is on the east coast of the UAE, between the Hajar mountains and the Indian Ocean. We'll be staying at the Fujairah Rotana Resort and Spa (the rates drop considerably in the hot summer months, which is our off-season). The four-star hotel is not in the city of Fujairah (it's in Aqa'a, on the coastal road between Fujairah and Dibba), but it is in the Emirate of Fujairah. This is the only one of the seven Emirates that we haven't visited yet.

We'll be gone for two days...just two days of exploring wadis and swimming in the Gulf of Oman and relaxing on the beach and trying to keep cool as the temperatures close in on 120*F. It's a two-and-a-half hour drive northeast of Abu Dhabi...
