There are two historic Mosques that can be visited but are not open to the general public as they are places of worship. The Al Bidya Mosque and the Grand Sheikh Zayed Mosque give a true sense of the local culture and you will have a chance to admire the stunning architecture with white-washed walls and ornate domes.
Take a trek along the foothills of the Hajar Mountains where you will discover ancient forts and mountain villages or book a four-wheel-drive expedition through the deserts and riverbeds (known as ‘Wadis)’ for an exciting day out in the local landscape.
The beaches in Fujairah must be seen to be believed. The 70km of crystal-clear coastlines are a scuba diver's dream, and a trip to the well-known snorkeling spot of Snoopy Island is an absolute must due to its incredible reef which is rich in local marine life.
After all of the excitement and exploration, you will have no shortage of choice for the perfect beach spot where you can relax on the sun-kissed miles of white sands and soak up the year-round Arabian sunshine.
Fujairah has a growing number of soaring skyscrapers and brand-new shopping malls where you can spend hours strolling through the many designer boutiques.
