🏝️ Umm Al Quwain
About Umm Al Quwain
The UAE's Quiet Lagoon Coast
Umm Al Quwain sits around the sheltered Khor al Beidah lagoon, fringed with mangroves that draw flamingos, herons and cormorants in the cooler months. Just offshore lies Al Sinniyah Island, a protected sanctuary for seabirds, gazelles and turtles — best explored by boat or kayak with a guide who knows the channels.
On shore, the old town keeps traditions alive: wooden dhows are still built by hand in the boatyards, UAQ Fort houses a small museum of local history, Dreamland Aqua Park makes an easy family day out, and the camel racing heritage is still celebrated at the desert tracks each winter season.
