Dibba

Dibba is situated about 140 miles (225 kilometers) northeast of Abu Dhabi Emirate, the national capital, and approximately 55 miles (89 kilometers) east of Sharjah.

Dibba is not the only place in this popular region worth exploring; those with enough time can also set out to see the charms of the surrounding landscapes, towns and cities. Two examples of places within a relatively short distance of Dibba are Khor Fakkan, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the north, and Murbah, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the north.

While you are in Dibba, don't forget to experience Sharjah. Approximately 55 miles (89 kilometers) away, this regional city is home to Sharjah Calligraphy Museum, Blue Souq Sharjah and Sharjah Mega Mall. Sharjah Archaeology Museum, American University of Sharjah and Al Qasba are some more places worth checking out for those who have more time on their hands.

A really good way to develop an understanding for an area is by understanding its history. While here, be sure to see the area's historic fortresses. If you have great weather, take the time and discover the United Arab Emirates' open-air markets.

Pack your gear or rent it locally, and get out onto the water. Scuba diving is an option. Another option is swimming.

If you plan on arriving and departing by air, it's handy to remember that the handiest major airport is Ras al Khaimah International Airport, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the west of Dibba.
