While many tourists come here for the beach and diving, a Fujairah sightseeing map can help diversify your time here.
In addition, there really is a lot to see in the city. Even if you're not a big fan of ancient architecture and museums, take a Fujairah sightseeing map for yourself. What if after a few days you get bored of the beach and diving and want a new experience?
There's a description of Fujairah's main attractions.
City Fort, which is located in the central part of Fujairah's Old Town. It is actually a giant castle built in the second half of the 17th century. Just under a hundred years ago, it suffered a bombardment and was completely restored. In former times, the fort was surrounded by settlements, which are now abandoned. The complex is very impressive and beautiful.
Not far from the fort are Fujairah's other attractions, photos of which adorn the promotional brochures. These include the luxurious Baddi Mosque, one of the oldest in the United Arab Emirates (only Muslims are allowed inside, but there's plenty to see outside), and the Archaeological Museum, where you can learn more about how archaeological excavations are carried out in this area and what scientists have managed to find here. The cost of visiting the museum is 5 AED for adults, children will not be charged. Please note that the museum is not open on Saturday and closes for a break from 13:00 to 16:30.
There are relatively few skyscrapers in the city, but that can't be called a disadvantage - it makes Fujairah look very nice and cozy. And among the high-rises that every tourist should take a look at are the Fujairah Skyscraper and Etisalat Tower.
Fujairah's main natural attraction is Musandam, a peninsula in the bay once inhabited by pirates. There's beautiful nature, interesting underwater life and great fishing. And local artisans will offer embroidered, iron and wrought iron products as souvenirs.
A list of Fujairah attractions with names would be incomplete without mentioning the ancient military fort at Bithnu and the ancient Muslim cemetery in the Dibba area.
If you don't mind venturing outside the city, 32 kilometers away awaits Al Waria, a stunning scenic valley with mineral springs and waterfalls. And 20 kilometers from Fujairah is the Ain Gimur spring, which is visited for healing rheumatism and skin diseases, as well as for the mesmerizing landscapes.
In short, even if you plan to spend the whole vacation lying on the beach or devote most of the time to diving, take a list of attractions in Fujairah and visit these places, you will not regret it.
