More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light spills across the Corniche and the map on your phone brightens with pins: forts, mangrove inlets, roadside coffee stalls and quiet desert tracks. The app hands you a choice — follow the coast where gulls tug at the wind, or push inland where low dunes press at the edge of the highway and old watchtowers keep quiet vigil.
