Thx! Great info.
There is also Mirfa beach. While much further away than the others mentioned (105km) it is really nicely developed with a green area and a Corniche with benches for strolling and relaxing. Camping is not allowed on the beach but I have seen motor homes and campers on grounds not far away.
The one time i’ve visited Mirfa beach every thing was as you’ve mentioned, except for it being very crowded. That’s not really my cup of tea, but it can be an amazing experience for others
PS. If we’re talking about 100+km distances, we could also include Al Sila Beach https://goo.gl/maps/toowawDYYWSVQWsX8 right next to the “Pearl Coast” https://goo.gl/maps/d5aofE5pm4WPz7uTA
Hi,
I was just wondering if you could tell me about Mirfa.
I was planning to do night camping with my Wife at Mirfa. but since camping is not allowed at beach, any other recommended places in Mirfa? how about Shipwreck beach?
Shipwreck beach is a wild beach that is closer to Ruwais, than to Mirfa.
so,,, we can camp and do BBQ at Shipwreck beach ? is it safe over there ?

Dear
Adnoc beach is only for adnoc employees?
No.
It’s open for all Ruwais residents.
Dear Sir
Any idea of housing availability for non Adnoc people ? ; i.e Are the housing family accommodation options provided for people employed from ADNOC Consultants such as Worley / Foster /Amek Etc. ?
If yes what are options for family accommodation currently available?
Thanks and Regards
