The settlement of Dibba Al-Hisn derives its name from the 'hisn' or harbor, which is a well-known landmark in the ancient enclave. The fort, built by the Portuguese in 1694, is a must-see sight in town that teaches visitors about the emirates' war chronicles. Set against the beautiful waters of the Gulf and bordered with palm trees, the postcard-perfect cape provides a plethora of marine sports like snorkelling, deep sea fishing, and scuba diving.
Those looking for a more luxurious experience can go on a dhow tour and witness a spectacular sunset in the vista and the dancing reflection of the setting sun rays on the Gulf seas. If you're traveling with your family to the land of the Arabians, Dibba Al-Hisn is one of the best sites to visit in the UAE, with lively markets, mystical mosques, renowned souks, and much more to improve your vacation experience.
