Watch out for

• Public transport coverage is limited compared with larger UAE cities, so having a car is usually more practical.
• Evenings are generally calm, but services and activity can thin out outside the main town and beach resorts.
• This is a coastal emirate with scattered settlements, so travel times between attractions can be longer than they look on a map.
