Fujairah stands apart among the emirates as the only one on the UAE’s eastern shore, where waves roll in from the Gulf of Oman and the Hajar Mountains rise sharply behind the city. Life here moves between sea and mountain, where coastal breeze meets rugged terrain, and echoes of ancient trade routes still shape the rhythm of settlements.

Fujairah’s coastline and coral reefs invite exploration beneath clear water. Snorkelers gather at Snoopy Island where turtles, rays, and reef fish float among coral gardens. The Hajar Mountains, too, change tones from sun‑baked canyons to Rainbow Mountain in Wadi Ghub full of striated colors, to Wadi Wurayah National Park, where an unexpected perennial waterfall and rare species thrive in a protected gorge.
