When I go to the seaside, this is the view I want out of my hotel window.

With blissful nonchalance, that is exactly what the Oceanic Resort & Spa offers!

Khorfakkan is a delightful coastal town, funnily enough administratively in the emirate of Sharjah, and the Oceanic is right at the end of the corniche.

Newly refurbished, it offers a very pleasant stay indeed.

The entire East Coast of the UAE is a spectacular coastline, and Khorfakkan is located around mid-way, between Dibba and Khor Kelba, and it is the ideal place to enjoy a seaside drive.

The Mercedes E200 coupé was the perfect complement to the majestic scenery: a fantastically relaxed feeling of driving, superbly balanced, fast yet effortless, all Mercedes models I’ve driven have been perfect.

Look how beautiful the E200 Coupé is…

Ah, but a two-door coupé must be a bit tight in the back, no? Nope – not at all – super-comfortable:

Dash and driver’s position? Perfection:

Safety? Best you can expect from Mercedes:

When you get the chance to explore the UAE’s beautiful coastline, there is no better vehicle than a sleek Mercedes!

Back at the Oceanic, dinner is served!

Fantastic fresh seafood, of course!

All in all, the Oceanic delivers all one could need for a refreshing weekend at the seaside in the UAE!
