It also has the Al Majlis executive lounge which is fully equipped with amenities for small and private meetings, and a well equipped auditorium with seating capacity for more than 100 people.The emirate of Fujairah is already a tourist destination among UAE residents who increasingly holiday here , and has experienced rapid growth and developments in terms of infrastructure, economy and tourism in recent years.
"Siji Hotel has also witnessed this increase in foreign tourists and it is one of the factors for the surge in occupany rates of the hotel last year. However, Fujairah also has a big potential in terms of hosting banquets and conferences. "As more and more developments happen in Fujairah including the Dubai-Fujairah highway which once finished will cut the travel time between the two emirates to just 45 minutes, with its mountains, waterfalls, and long beaches, not to mention the other hotels opening soon, Fujairah will be the next best alternative conferencing and banqueting destination in the UAE, "said Melhem.
