Help! Hotel in Fujairah or RAK, UAE… I’ve left it too late!

I’ve left it ridiculously last minute, but I need to organise a few nights away for a relatives birthday and she has requested either RAK or Fujairah, UAE.

Does anybody have any suggestions, or anywhere that you have personally stayed and enjoyed?

All inclusive is preferred!

Thank you.

also open to other emirates but ideally not Dubai or Oman.

Strongly recommend Le Meridien Al Aqah in Fujairah- I've been there twice already this year and I'm back there in 2 weeks.

Also Rixos in RAK and I think Hilton there does AI as well. I haven't stayed there but lots of friends have.

Do you have flights booked?

@thornburygreat, thank you! We live in a different emirate so we are just driving over, thankfully.

I will look into those options.

Likewise! We drive from AD.

Oman is an entirely separate country (and a beautiful one at that!)

@SagittariusDwarfI imagine that since the OP already lives in the UAE, she's very well aware that Oman is a separate country.

You would think wouldn't you, but then her comment about being "open to other emirates but ideally not Dubai or Oman" comes across as if she thinks Oman is an emirate

Yes, I am well aware Oman is a country. Thank you

Waldorf Astoria is RAK was very very special when we stayed. We got a really good last minute deal with them.

Great! Not sure why you referred to it being an emirate in your second post. Maybe there was a comma missing.
