About this experience

Fujairah is the smallest of the 7 emirates, located on the west coast of the country and mostly mountainous. The oldest mosque in the UAE is situated in Fujairah. It was built in the 14th century with mud and bricks. The annual rainfall is due to the large Hajjar Mountains situated within the city.
The tour will offer the scenic beauty of nature, a journey through the lush green farmlands in the valleys of the Hajjar Mountains full of contrasting colors. Passing through the Oasis town of Dhaid and Masafi, Sharjah, and Eastern Sights, our first stop is Al Dhaid to photograph the Palm Lands and strawberry garden. Then we proceed to Bidayah via the village of Dibba. Our next stop is at Friday Market situated on the main road to the town of Fujairah where we may find traditional objects.
