Owing an allegiance to Ras-Al-Khaimah on the UAE's north coast, this emirate, which is situated on the eastern coast of the Arabian Gulf, is dotted with villages that are scattered all over its land. It has unique scenery and wild-life north on-shore and off-shore. With staggering landscapes and littered with forts and archaeological sites and unexplored territories, Fujairah bears charming and secretive treasures that await its tourists.

Lying in the south-eastern corner of the Arabian peninsula, Fujairah is the only emirate located on the Gulf of Oman rather than the Arabian Gulf. Unlike other desert emirates, Fujairah has the distinction of being a narrow coastal strip at the edge of its mountainous terrain. This makes the emirates naturally endowed with scenic beauty. The important resort area of Khor Fakkan has excellent beaches and watersport facilities.


The Hajar mountain range that divides the U.A.E. in two, from Ras Al Khaimah to Al Ain has kept Fujairah separated from the rest of the country. Fujairah's main occupation in the past were fishing and agriculture. Pearl fishing was non-existent because the waters of the Gulf of Oman were much deeper and colder than the Arabian Gulf, not suitable for the growth of pearl oysters. The Fujairah port is an important port for container liners and for the world's largest livestock shipping companies which have set up their main holding station for sheep and cattle for the entire Arabian peninsula here.


The rustic and old-fashioned look which Fujairah upholds is a reflection on the city-life there. They are proud of their heritage and wish to share their adventures with the rest of the world.
