December is a wonderful month for visiting Fujairah.The skies are generally clear, the water is warm while still being refreshing and the temperatures are consistently in the mid twenties.
Judging by the tour buses and the visitors pounding the streets there seem to be many people who are taking advantage of what Fujairah has to offer—no-fuss hospitality, scenic mountain and water views and authentic Emirati tradition.
Down at the Fujairah corniche recently there was a rich mix of cultures enjoying the sea views and breathing in the clear air. In the space of 10 minutes I spoke with people from India, Bangladesh, Philippines, Pakistan and these well-dressed men from Baluchistan (pictured) who were happy to pose with my granddaughter.
Come and see Fujairah for yourself. It is a total experience.

P.S Just back from a holiday in Syria. What a delightful country to visit.
