Dozens of city fountains and traditional oriental markets, the best diving in the Arabian Peninsula and the oldest architectural structures in the country, picturesque gorges and many mineral springs, clean beaches and rocky bays - all this is Fujairah or Fujairah.
One of the most beautiful emirates in the UAE is more suitable for recreation for those who prefer tranquility and relaxation as the main components of a beach holiday, and prefer cozy low-rise hotels and almost home service to skyscrapers on the outskirts of the beach. However, tours to Fujairah allow you to "stay" in Dubai or Abu Dhabi on excursions and admire all the very achievements of mankind without much hindrance.
History with geography
The dirty old port, which was once the city of Fujairah, turned into a modern resort in the late twentieth century. A hundred years earlier, Sheikh Fujairah had proclaimed independence and seceded from Sharjah, but during the many decades that followed, no one wanted to recognize independence.
The lack of oil on its shores also did not add to the authority of Fujairah, and the small but proud emirate was able to prove its own viability, engaging in agriculture, fishing and trade in the sweat of its brow. The dynamically developing port and the special attention of today's sheikh to the development of the tourism industry contributed a lot to this.
Unlike its neighbors, Fujairah offers beaches on the Gulf of Oman of the Indian Ocean, and all of them are particularly clean and picturesque. Mountains close to the shores protect the resort from hot winds from the desert.
Things to do in Fujairah
Briefly about the important
- Fujairah tours are best booked for early spring or late autumn. In the summer here, despite the absence of too hot winds, it is still up to +40, and in winter both water and air may not seem too comfortable for swimming and sunbathing.
- Shopping on a Fujairah tour is fashionable both in the capital of the emirate and in neighboring Dubai, where the largest shopping mall in the world is open.
- On Fridays, on the road to Sharjah, a few kilometers from Fujairah, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the famous market opens where you can buy absolutely everything - from carpets to fruits. Bargaining is always appropriate here and this is the best place to buy souvenirs from a Fujairah tour.
