Dubai Residents start the morning at the same time, but sorry you’ll have to travel the old fashioned way, by the coach or mini van. No train station here yet!
We will join the Abu Dhabi folks in Fujairah. This event is all inclusive of transportation.
We will meet for a full-day adventure: lunch, mangrove kayaking, and a scenic hike at Ghail Dam No car required!
Timings based on the train schedule. Departure from Abu Dhabi at 8 am - so lets make a day out of it!
Experience the UAE like never before on this full-day adventure that combines the country's brand-new Etihad Rail service with the natural beauty of Fujairah's east coast.
Skip the long drive and instead relax as the train whisks you from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah in under two hours, setting the tone for a day that mixes comfort, culture, and adventure.
Eat something on train to fuel up for the kayaking experience. Upon arrival, we'll head straight to the kayaking in the mangroves. Then a well deserved lunch at 1:00 Pm at the Bahar Palace.
To close out the day, we'll drive to Ghail Dam for a scenic hike around its still waters and surrounding mountain trails, taking in sweeping views of the lake and hills before making our way back to the train station for a relaxed journey home to Abu Dhabi.
