"Mountains." pshaw. Big rocks more like. Think the karroo with hills. Beach was pretty - no waves for surfing only long flat stretches of blue on which you can waterski or banana boat. Sand here is HOT though. Note to self - take flops down to the waters edge.
The hotel was nice (bit expensive) and lunch allowed us use of their facilities for the day which we spent lounging on recliners by the pool.
The trip down was the best part though. The directions I had received from the hotel included the line "drive through the desert" and they we're kidding! Proper red sand dunes covered in camels. Much more the Dubai I had imagined!! It's a bit nerve racking though hurtling along at 100km/h with no fence on either side of you and camels wandering across the road. SCARY!
The road back from Fujairah was interesting. we got to see some smaller towns without skyscrapers (although even in the blink towns there's still construction going on of course) and found some great spots for cheap carpets and niknaks. (Not sadly the cheesy kind which I am mourning here in Dubai!)
