Discover the UAE’s hidden paradise — mountains, beaches, and heritage in one unforgettable day.
🏝️ Introduction
If you’ve seen Dubai’s glittering skyline and Abu Dhabi’s royal palaces, it’s time to experience a different side of the UAE — the peaceful, scenic, and culturally rich East Coast of Fujairah.
The Fujairah East Coast Tour with Shared Vehicle by Fun Tours Dubai takes you on a relaxing full-day trip through mountains, historic villages, local markets, and pristine beaches, revealing the quiet charm that lies beyond the desert.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want a refreshing nature escape while still enjoying comfort and guided storytelling — all at an affordable shared-vehicle rate.
🏔️ 1. Why Fujairah? The UAE’s Natural Gem
Unlike the bustling cities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Fujairah sits along the Gulf of Oman, surrounded by the rugged Hajar Mountains and turquoise waters.
It’s the UAE’s only emirate located entirely on the eastern coast — and it feels like a world apart.
🌿 What Makes It Special
- Dramatic mountain passes and wadi valleys.
- Quiet beaches ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
- Ancient forts and mosques rich with heritage.
- Local coastal villages that still reflect traditional Emirati life.
💬 Fun Tours Tip: The mountain air and sea breeze make this one of the UAE’s most comfortable day trips — especially in cooler months.
🚐 2. Comfortable Shared Transfer — Scenic & Social
Your journey begins with a morning hotel pickup in Dubai aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned shared vehicle.
Traveling in a small group (8–12 people) keeps things social yet relaxed.
Your Fun Tours guide shares stories about the regions you pass — from desert plains to green wadis and fishing towns.
Enjoy stunning photo stops as you cross Al Dhaid, Masafi, and Fujairah’s mountain passes.
💬 Photography Tip: Keep your camera ready — the road between Masafi and Dibba offers some of the most photogenic mountain views in the UAE.
🕌 3. Al Bidya Mosque — The Oldest in the Emirates
The first highlight is Al Bidya Mosque, the oldest mosque in the UAE, dating back over 500 years.
Built from mud and stone, it’s small yet beautifully preserved — a serene spot that captures the UAE’s spiritual roots.
Your guide explains its historical importance and how it continues to serve as a place of worship today.
💡 Did you know? Al Bidya Mosque is made without wood or metal — just hand-crafted stone and clay architecture.
🏖️ 4. Fujairah Fort & Heritage Village
Next, you’ll visit Fujairah Fort, perched on a hill overlooking the old city.
It’s one of the oldest forts in the country, originally built for defense and now restored as a heritage site.
Nearby, the Heritage Village showcases Emirati life before oil — with traditional houses, pottery workshops, and farming tools on display.
💬 Fun Tours Note: This stop is a photographer’s dream — the contrast of ancient clay walls against the blue sky is spectacular.
🌊 5. Fujairah Beach & Coastline Drive
Enjoy a scenic drive along the Fujairah coastline, where the mountains meet the sea.
Stop at one of the beach viewpoints to breathe in the fresh ocean air and capture panoramic shots of the Gulf of Oman.
Optional: Take a short dip or walk along the sandy shores — our guide will allow free time for relaxation.
🐟 6. Local Souks & Friday Market
Your next stop is the famous Masafi Friday Market — open every day, not just Fridays!
This colorful roadside bazaar is packed with fruits, plants, pottery, carpets, and souvenirs.
It’s a perfect place to:
- Try fresh coconut water or sugarcane juice.
- Buy handmade souvenirs or rugs.
- Chat with friendly local vendors.
💬 Fun Tours Tip: Bargaining is friendly and expected — just smile and enjoy the experience!
