Fujairah Fujairah, one of the seven Emirates that make up the U.A.E., sits on the beautiful coastline of the Gulf of Oman, and is a land of glorious sandy beaches, the rugged Hajar Mountains and some of the most stunning scenery in the region. The warm waters are ideal for snorkelling and diving, and the colourful coral reefs are home to all manner of marine life. There are plenty of sightseeing opportunities, one must-see is the Al Bidya Mosque, the oldest in the U.A.E. and considered by many to be the most magnificent. Many of the hotels also run shuttle services into Dubai, just 90 minutes away. For many years untouched by development, Fujairah's beaches, oasis villages and sleepy old world charm is just waiting to be discovered.
