Fujairah Rotana Resort SPA al Aqah Beach is a hotel that is an ideal option for people who dream of a budget holiday in the Emirates. Such a thing here may well become a reality. After all, this hotel really differs in modest prices, as for the UAE. However, he has many other advantages, which I would like to talk about in a little more detail.
general information
The hotel, built in a modern style, was opened a little less than ten years ago, in 2007. The hotel belongs to the fairly well-known Rotana chain. What is worth knowing about her?

And Fujairah Rotana Resort SPA al Aqah Beach is one of those.
It is located on the shores of the Indian Ocean, in the emirate of Fujairah, very close to the beach. In 3 minutes you can drive to the village of Dibba, which is one of the most important historical centers in the UAE. It is also popular among divers. So here there is really a very rich and diverse underwater world.
The only negative is the airport is far away. It is located about 55 kilometers from the hotel, in the capital of the emirate.
