Land of Sea Giants
On a good day (meaning the traffic)..it takes about 2 hours to reach Fujairah from Dubai. And also my driver with an attitude...must be in the right frame of mind...not to try another route. The last trip...it took 4 hours to reach...because the "smart alec" took the Kalba way rather than the normal Masafi way. This couple of months, I had made several trips to Fujairah to meet some clients. The entire place is so mind boggling! I am still in a cultural shock.
The Emirate of Fujairah is historically very old and it is evidenced that people had lived here before Christ . Anciently Fuajairah was known as the land of the sea giants ...

Yesterday, i was on the lonely journey again...as usual i was awed by the miles and miles of mountain ranges....suddenly i felt so small. Looking out of the window..I spotted some donkeys and camels.. looking for plastic cans i supposed. Far ahead, the visibility of the ranges was low dued to the afternoon heat.
In the city, the only tall building for now is the Fujairah Tower. Things are slowly picking up here...I heard there are many beautiful beaches around...by the way, anyone spotted me behind the wheel? lol (see pic)
A group of youngsters were having lunch at the KFC...for 22 dhm... eat all you want..perhaps till you drop dead!
"Hi! how do you guys survive here?"
" Can u get us out of here??" one guy from USA quipped, in half jest.
" You guys read the news about some genies who started a series of fires here lately?"
"It's in Dilba"
Land of sea giants? genies? i need a glass of ice water!
On a serious note...can somone tells me the origin of the tagline:
"Land of Sea Giants"
In any case, Fujairah is definitely a land of many magical possibilities...
