Fujairah is located on the shore of the Gulf of Oman (Indian Ocean). A significant part of its territory is occupied by mountains that come almost close to the coast. This principality has a port at the entrance to the Persian Gulf, as well as a bay with the port of Corfakkan located north, providing access to the Indian Ocean.
In addition, Fujairah has its own international airport that receives civil and military aircraft. Fujairah is considered an ideal resort for a relaxing, family vacation. At the same time, this is one of the best places for scuba diving. No wonder the Arabs themselves choose this emirate for sea recreation. It is cozy and crowded here, the beaches are equipped with everything for any kind of water sports and scuba diving, including night hunting.
A significant part of the territory of Fujairah is occupied by mountains, which gives this resort a unique beauty. The road from Daida through the mountains to Fujairah is especially picturesque. It passes over Mount Hajar, through the Masafi Pass and below Wadi Ham to the coast, and then approaches the city. If you go along this road, you can see one of the most picturesque forts in the country in the village of Bitna, which is located in a palm valley. In the stone village of Wadi Dafta you can see the remains of another destroyed fort.
The modern city of Fujairah stretches along the coast. It is a city with wide, spacious streets, decorated with fountains and numerous sculptures. Among the modern residential areas stands out the Trade Center tower. A little further is the bay, which, together with the north port of Khor Fakkan, provides the country with direct access to the Indian Ocean. As a rule, tourists come here in winter, as Fujairah is, first of all, a place for a beach holiday.
From other emirates, Fujairah is fenced off by low rocky mountains crossed by an excellent highway. It does not have its own oil, and yet luxurious multi-storey buildings have been built in the city, not inferior in beauty to the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The National Bank, the International Commercial Center, the Plaza Hotel sparkle with colored glass on the central street. However, in addition to the new microdistrict, Fujairah is "low-short", with two-storey administrative buildings and small mansions. The international airport is almost adjacent to the central quarters. Buses go straight to Dubai.
The monumental sculpture of the city - a bronze eagle, a huge coffee pot, a smoking room - resemble Saudi Jeddah. Beautiful sandy beaches and the absence of environmental problems make the city attractive for those who would like to slowly wander along the green embankment, look at the picturesque ruins of old Fujairah, explore the ancient fortress, admire fishing boats fishing in the ocean. The climate here is better than in other emirates. This is a hub seaport, a "sea station" for transit flights. Here, as in the port of Jebel Ali in Dubai, a "free zone" for business has been created.
