Routes - it is very difficult to make a specific route in the UAE in advance, since roads are constantly being rebuilt, dismantled or even new ones are being built.

On the other hand,it is better to go to the area of the east coast of Dibba (Fujairah Emirate) in the daylight hours, so as not to miss the opportunity to admire the views from the window, meet the cutest camels and swim in warm water.
