Fujairah, a historical city in the United Arab Emirates, dominated by the Sharqiyin tribe, sits at the mouth of the important trade route, the Wadi Ham (which is guarded by the Sharqiyin Al Bithnah Fort), through the mountains to the interior and the Persian Gulf Coast. Known as the Shamaliyah, the east coast of what is now the UAE was subject to Muscat until 1850, when it was annexed by Al Qasimi of Sharjah, in an agreement made between Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi and the Sultan of Muscat.[2] The Shamaliyah was governed by Al-Qasimi Wali at Kalba although frequently seceded and in 1901 Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Sharqi, chief of the Sharqiyin, declared independence from Sharjah.

A beautiful dam is hidden away from the usual tourist attractions. This dam is so attractive, serene, and calming that you won’t feel like leaving it. In winter, when the monsoon here is active, the Al Rafisah dam is full of blue water, and this massive dam fills your heart and soul. To see a dam right in the desert is unique. Not many visitors come here. Hence it would help if you took the time to be with yourself here. Take pictures, enjoy the lush greenery around here and give yourself quality me-time. During the sunset and sunrise, the dam, the water, the sky, and the sun; all these elements create a visual orchestra!
