If you outlined to relax in the UAE, it will be useful to know what kind of sea there and where you will swim. Here is a whole confusion: the newly minted tourists say - the sea, savvy - the bay, intended guides - the ocean. Yes, and in the description of some rooms in the hotels of the Emirates, you can meet the inscription "Ocean View", which means "ocean appearance". Who can believe? Let's deal with the very beginning.

Having delighted into geography, it becomes clear that the emirates are washed by the waters of the Persian and Omansky bays, so the country has two coasts. All resorts of the United Arab Emirates are located on the Persian Gulf, and only Emirate Fujairah belongs to Omansky.

Persian Bay is called the sea. After all, he meets all the indicators of hydrological and hydrochemical regimes. In Dubai, the water is calm, the waves almost never happens, as the action of artificially created islands is affected, the entrance to the sea is not sharp. It is possible to observe for insignificant tides, if you are in Sharjah, Ajman.

It is Omansky Bay all the guides and local residents refer to the Indian Ocean. After all, it connects with the last through the Arabian Sea. Therefore, on arrival home you can boast friends that they have bathed in the sea, and in the bay, and in the ocean. Partly this is true. But in fact, the Omansky bay is poorly pulling on the ocean, especially the one that we used to see on Ceylon - with palm groves and fragrant coconuts. It looks like a twin, to the Gulf of Persian, except that water is colder than 2-3 degrees, and the coast landscape is slightly embellished with mountainous terrain.

The temperature of the water in the UAE bays is rarely lowered below 18 degrees. In the summer heat, it becomes hot, like pair milk, exceeding 35 degrees. But you can compensate for those or other inconveniences by sailing in the heated basin of your hotel, where the water is warm and comfortable all year - 25-27 degrees.
Now you revealed the mystery - what kind of sea in the Emirates. Bathe with pleasure, however, remember that some dangers are taiting the gentle sea. These are jellyfish, and the water snakes thrown ashore, and the rods, and rare sharks instances. Therefore, it is better to adhere to the rules of safe behavior on the water: do not swim in the wrong place and do not go into the water when the red flag is raised.
