Snorkel off the Coast in Fujairah
On UAE’s east coast, Fujairah has a stunning mix of rock formations, reefs, and shipwrecks that harbour a variety of marine life. On your next trip to the emirate, sign up for a snorkelling session with Nemo Diving Center (nemodivingcenter.com) to explore the best snorkelling sites. Near the town of Khor Fakkan is Martini Rock, a submerged coral outcrop located in a protected marine area that houses corals, eels, scorpionfish, sea turtles, and barracuda. The small rock island of Dibba Rock is the perfect site to encounter different kinds of turtles, clownfish, parrotfish, porcupine pufferfish, bannerfish, lionfish, triggerfish, and jawfish. Snoopy Island, named after the popular Peanuts cartoon character, has pristine beaches, luxurious resorts, and reefs brimming with fish. fujairah.ae
