I was pleased to give some off-road info to the team at the Radisson Blu blog; although Fujairah is not a sandy emirate there are still plenty of opportunities to get off the beaten track and experience the great outdoors there

Fujairah is a great weekend destination for UAE residents – around 2.5 hours from Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and under 2 hours from Dubai, the slower pace of life makes for great relaxation – and the Radisson Blu Hotel is situated right on the beach and even has its own dive centre!
