Enjoy a Day at Dibba Beach Fujairah

Fujairah Getaway
The family beach in Dibba, Fujairah, is a popular getaway.

Families pitch tents and park their cars in the shadows of the mountain peaks and spend the day at the shores of the beach.

Visual Essay
The interactive team at The National has developed a series of ‘visual essays’ capturing life in the Emirates.

One put together by Galen Clarke is on Dibba, Fujairah and it is entitled, ‘A Day at Dibba Beach: Relaxing by the Indian Ocean’.

The visual essay is presented by way of sound, words, video and photos but it seeks to be a total experience that engages most of the senses.

Reflection Piece
These visual experiences are called, ‘Istabsir, which is an Arabic word calling readers to, “attentively reflect and contemplate with respectful consideration.”

Postscript
Did we hear a rumour that the Istabsir series was finishing, ‘preferring to go out on a high note’? What a pity! Some of us have only just discovered Istabsir and we are hoping the series might continue. It represents innovation at its best from The National.
