Thanks to its surf and prevailing wind, the northern section of Umm Suqeim Beach is Dubai’s top spot for kite surfing. The beach is home to an array of water sports operators offering equipment hire, as well as kite surfing lessons, along with paddle boarding and kayak rental. This long stretch of yellow-sand beach sweeps south along the coast (becoming Umm Suqeim Beach), with plenty of space for sunbathers looking to lap up a lazy day of swimming and soaking up the rays on the sand and excellent facilities and dining choices. There are good views of the Burj Al Arab from the southern end of the beach. Category: Leisure, Adventure Book With Us And Book It Out Of Here! For More Info Contact Us On:

The Al Fahidi Quarter (previously known, and sometimes still referred to as the Bastakia neighborhood) was built in the late 19th century to be the home of wealthy Persian merchants who dealt mainly in pearls and textiles and were lured to Dubai because of the tax-free trading and access to Dubai Creek. Al Fahidi occupies the eastern portion of Bur Dubai along the creek, and the coral and limestone buildings here, many with walls topped with wind-towers, have been excellently preserved.

About 26 kilometers southeast of Ras Al-Khaimah, Khatt Springs is an area of mineral-rich hot pools, where the water is noted for its relaxing and therapeutic properties.

The facilities are a bit tired these days, but if you just want a quick soak in the hot water to soothe tired joints from traveling, they’re still worth a stop.
