Fujeriah ?
 
Does anyone think its is worth going there ?

I have my two teenage sons over, and we fancy getting out of Dubai for a few hours.....have heard you can snorkel there and get a boat to see dolphins ?

Anyone recommend it ?

Or anyone have any other suggestions as to how to occupy two teenage boys, apart from wii, swimming pools, malls, cinema's and water parks ? :confused:

Fujeriah is really nice if you choose to stay at the Le Meridien Al Aqa, The Miramar or JAL resort they can snorkle and have boat trips, there is also a great deal of activities that they schedule during the day, out of the three I would say the best one is the Miramar and second JAL resort.

the mirimar is nice, very arabic theme to it..for a bargain, i would take the kids to sandy beach motel...cheap and cheerful, and the kids would love it. From there you can go snorkelling and canooing out to Snoopy island etc..

People on here seem to forget that the world does not revolve around 5* hotels!!!

That's the one. Have stayed in both the Meridien and the Rotana. I've booked the Rotana again because I get one free night and two nights half price using my air miles.

It's really simple and straightforward, it's virtually a straight road all the way there. Get your eldest to map read.
