2. Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Street 5th St)
House of worship for our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. Entrance fee is absolutely free. You will get to see the largest carpet in the world. Get stunned in the amazing interior design. Piece of advise to those who are planning to visit this holy place, all must observe a proper attire. No shorts allowed for both men and women. However, if it happens that you are wearing one, traditional dresses are available for free but should be returned after the visit. Food are not allowed to be carried inside, so as cigarettes, lighters, perfume and alike. As this is a house of worship, posing in unusual way while taking pictures are strictly prohibited. Lastly, bring your identification cards.

3. Khorfakkan Beach - Fujairah (Near Khor Fakkan Port | Between Fujairah and Dibba, Khor Fakkan, United Arab Emirates)
Absolutely entrance is free! You will get to enjoy some water activities like parasailing and boat tour. Parasailing starts from 75AED per person and boat tour is at a cost of 250AED for 10 persons. If you happen to visit this place, there is a good coffeeshop right across the road. They are serving the most awesome Arabic coffee that I've ever tasted. I highly recommend you the island near the Khorfakkan Beach which they called "Shark Island". It's an island very near to Khorfakkan beach. Trick is, instead of doing the boat tour, you can ask them to drop you at the island and ask them to pick you up after couple of hours. You will get to enjoy clear water and very good rock formations. There are some preserve corals there as well.
