Fujairah

Fujairah is the only one of the seven emirates which is not located along the Arabian Gulf. Instead, this popular tourist destination is tucked on the eastern coast of the UAE and separated from the rest of the emirates by the rugged Hajar Mountain range. Besides being the commercial hub of UAE, Fujairah is a big pull for tourists due to its cultural attractions, pristine beaches, wide range of water sports, shimmering coastline and dramatic landscape.

Though a less famed emirate of the UAE, it is a favourite of the real wanderlust souls who look for spending their vacation away from the crowd and litter of the popular tourist destinations. Sea lovers can explore the exotic underwater marine life by scuba diving or snorkelling in the crystal-clear Gulf waters. The postcard perfect beaches lulled by the clear waters of the Arabian Gulf allure beach lovers to hire sun loungers at Dibba and Al Aqah and bask in the sun at daytime and enjoy lavish dining experience at Gonu Bar & Grill.

Fujairah offers great nightlife for the party animals who can spend quiz nights in the McGettigan’s or sip into your favourite cocktail at Tropicana Bar or Zorba Lounge. For the culture aficionados, the must visit places include the Al Bidyah Mosque which is the oldest mosque in the UAE, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque which is the second largest mosque in UAE and the Fujairah Fort which is the oldest stone castle in the Arab world.
