Fujairah - The mountainous eastern border emirate

By Natalia Ahmed

April 9, 2020

Fujairah’s position in the UAE is a unique one, as it is the only emirate that lies on the eastern side of the UAE , along the Gulf of Oman – this emirate is the only one with a coastline solely on the Gulf of Oman, and none on the Persian Gulf. The name itself is derived from a spring of water that is located beneath one of the mountains that are a part of the Hajar range. The emirate is popular for its crystalline beaches and many resorts scattered along the coast, making it the perfect holiday destination for tourists looking to explore the rest of the UAE, and for residents who wish to get a break from the hubbub of city life. The emirate’s unique location also offers free access to major shipping routes, making it a comfortable port for entrepreneurs and businessmen around the world.
