Weekend on the East Coast

We just got back from Fujairah where we spent a weekend with Philippe's folks. Fujairah is an Emirate in the UAE, but it is located on the East coast sandwiched in between parts of Oman.
We visited the Al Bidyah mosque - the oldest in the UAE.
Took a very cautious drive through the Hail Wadi (basically a dried out river bed) where we discovered lush terrassed gardens with Palm trees and lots of vegetables.
And we took advantage of the beach, clear waters and coral reef for snorkeling.

The kids are sleeping it off and I'm about to do the same. Posted by Picasa
