The UAE's east coast emirate — Al Bidyah Mosque (oldest in the UAE), Fujairah Fort, Sandy Beach, mountain villages, and coastal scenery. Private 4x4 from Dubai.
Fujairah is the only emirate in the UAE with no Arabian Gulf coastline — it faces the Gulf of Oman on the country's east side. This makes it distinctly different in character from Dubai: mountains close to the sea, older architecture, quieter pace, and a landscape that feels genuinely remote despite being under two hours from the city.
The tour typically covers the Hanging Garden, Al Bidyah Mosque (dating to the 15th century and the oldest mosque in the UAE), Sheikh Zayed Mosque Fujairah, the Musafi mountain area, Fujairah Historic Fort, Umbrella Park, Al Hayl Castle, Sandy Beach (one of the best swimming beaches on the east coast), Fujairah Museum, and Bithnah Fort.
You travel in a private 4×4 from your hotel or home in Dubai or Sharjah. Duration is approximately 10 to 11 hours.
