Fujairah Holidays

Fujairah's seemingly endless golden sandy beaches border the Gulf of Oman and inviting waters of the Indian Ocean and provide a more tranquil location for an Arabian holiday than neighbouring Dubai. The crystal clear waters harbour a rich marine environment making it one of the best places for snorkelling and scuba diving in the UAE. Avid divers should head to Snoopy Island, which juts out off Al Aqah beach, for the chance to spot green sea turtles, black-tip reef sharks and a myriad of smaller, vibrantly coloured fish.

Take time to explore further and travel through picturesque fishing villages and past ancient forts, watchtowers and mosques. Sites of interest within Fujairah include Fujairah Fort, a large castle dating back to 1670; the impressive Al Bidya Mosque; the Fujairah Heritage Village, which depicts traditional Emirati life; and Ain Al Madhab Gardens.

The rugged landscape also provides the perfect setting for a range of activities. Thrill seekers can explore the dramatic canyons and rocky valleys of the Hajar Mountains or travel off-road through dry riverbeds on a bone-shaking adventure.

Immerse yourself in Arabian culture with a visit to the Friday Market in Masafi, which curiously runs daily. This colourful open market is geared towards locals rather than tourists and showcases local pottery, carpets, plants and produce, but it's an ideal place to simply soak up the atmosphere or perhaps practice your bartering skills and grab a bargain.
