Fujairah

Fujairah is an emirate on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates, lying along the Gulf of Oman. It’s known for its beaches and the Hajar Mountains, which run through much of the emirate. In the south, the city of Fujairah is home to the massive Sheikh Zayed Mosque, with its towering white minarets. Overlooking the city is Fujairah Fort, a reconstructed 17th-century fortress featuring round and square towers.Al-Fujayrah, also spelled Fujairah, constituent emirate of the United Arab Emirates (formerly Trucial States, or Trucial Oman). It is the country’s only emirate with no territory on the Persian Gulf; its entire coastline is on the east side of the Musandam Peninsula (the horn of southeastern Arabia), facing the Gulf of Oman. Because Al-Fujayrah’s territory is divided or interrupted by exclaves (detached sections) of other emirates, its boundaries have been only partially demarcated.
