1 / 2Icelandic Lake
📍 Al ‘Ishwani, Fujairah
Natural lake set between Fujairah mountains near Wadi Siji. Free entry, open swimming, BBQ allowed with a stand, and popular for overnight camping. Sedans can access via correct navigation route.
The Place is perfect for night camping. BBQ is perfect but be mindful not to put directly the fire on the ground but used a BBQ grill with a stand. Also, Hopefully the people who want to visit this place should be responsible for not throwing garbage in any of the areas because I see lots of plastic bottles,mats etc... Planning to camp again soon. Its ambience is so good and quiet. Note: these areas can only be accessed by SUV unless maybe if you're familiar with the place then sedan will be ok if there are routes which 8m.not aware of. Thanks.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who camp and want a genuine off-grid mountain escape within day-trip distance from Dubai or Fujairah city. Swimming is unsupervised with no lifeguard present, so confident swimmers only. Not suited to families seeking amenities or shade structures.
