Fujairah Travel Guide

A UAE east-coast city of mountains and sea, coral diving in the Gulf of Oman, the ancient Al-Bidyah Mosque and natural springs.

📍 Destination Overview

Fujairah, the only UAE emirate entirely on the east coast, faces the Gulf of Oman backed by the Hajar Mountains - a natural retreat. Clear, coral-rich waters make it a famed diving spot. The old Fujairah Fort and Al-Bidyah, the country's oldest mosque, survive as heritage, the Hada Springs soothe, and a coast road links fishing villages and beaches.
