Umbrella Beach, an ambitious tourism project now underway on the eastern coast of the UAE, appears set to put the Emirate of Fujairah on the international tourism map. Slated for completion later this year, the project’s first phase will include at least 15 storefronts, to be eventually followed by a range of upscale retail outlets, restaurants, and other tourist-friendly attractions.
“As one of the UAE’s smaller emirates, Fujairah is frequently overlooked by tourists and visitors to the country,” project manager Abdullah Taleb says. “The Umbrella Beach project plans to rectify this by drawing attention to Fujairah’s vast tourism potential, including its striking modernity, impressive work ethic, and breathtaking natural beauty.”
Something for Everyone
Located on the Fujairah corniche, Umbrella Beach will afford visitors access to the area’s pristine beaches on the scenic Gulf of Oman. Promising an all-in-one leisure experience, the project is spearheaded by a team of leading brands and developers, all of whom are keen to present Fujairah as a world-class tourism and shopping destination.
In addition to high-end retailers, restaurants, and cafes, Umbrella Beach will ultimately feature a drive-in cinema, wall-climbing area, basketball/volleyball courts, and jogging trails, along with recreational spaces for children and adults. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a multitude of beachside activities, including watersports, jet skiing, parasailing, and more.
“Umbrella Beach will have something for everyone, regardless of age, nationality or background,” Abdullah Taleb explains. “Along with local visitors from Fujairah and the next-door Emirate of Sharjah, we hope to draw tourists from all over the region – and the world.”
UAE Tourism: ‘More than Just Dubai & Abu Dhabi’
With the launch slated for later this year, the project hopes to combine its prime seaside location with a host of dynamic business ventures to become a major commercial hub on the UAE's East Coast, and a top destination for family-oriented holidaymaking all year round.
“Umbrella Beach will serve as a signal to the world that the Emirate of Fujairah is a viable and attractive vacation venue,” Taleb says, “and that tourism in the UAE is about more than just Dubai and Abu Dhabi.”
Umbrella Beach’s unique and extraordinary location, situated on the United Arab Emirates’ eastern coastal area, renders it a truly special place to be. Access to the Gulf of Oman positions the Emirates’ east coast to truly stand out among the other beach areas throughout the nation. Through extensive development and multiple projects coming together, the UAE’s coasts are becoming major hubs of commerce, industry, and community development. While the nation’s western coast has long been the go-to destination for visitors and locals, Umbrella Beach is a must visit destination on the east coast.
Umbrella Beach will provide access to cutting edge activities, amenities, retailers, and restaurants. This unique and unbeatable location is set to become the top destination for all those who seek to enjoy the finer things in life with some fine dining, get their adrenaline pumping with some high-octane water sports, visit their favourite coffee shops, or to find that special fashion item for the season. Umbrella Beach is set to satisfy visitors’ every need and expectation, and then some. UB will offer a wide selection of retailers, eateries, and activities geared at pleasing even the most discerning visitors.
Umbrella Beach has been designed, developed, and constructed to leverage the best that the UAE has to offer alongside its unique and advantageous access to the lesser-known coast of the country to bring visitors a truly spectacular and special experience. Umbrella Beach will fuse together the traditional, modern, classic, casual, and everything in between in order to satisfy visitors, no matter what they seek! Umbrella Beach is a one-stop destination for families, couples, individuals and more. Whether it be an adventure, fine dining, relaxation, or some retail therapy, Umbrella Beach will have it all.
