euzkadi Says: Masafi is a small town famous for it´s market, a good place to buy carpets from Iran or Pakistan, pottery from the Emirates, and also some fruits and vegetable stalls. The town has a long main street where all the stalls and shops are located and is visited by everybody...
euzkadi Says: A mosque built of stone and mudbricks in 1446 AD, is the oldest mosque in the Emirates and one of the holiest. The building has four domes supported by an internal pillar unusual for religious architecture in the region, the inside of the mosque is not accessible to...

dave.richards Says: Ok, ok. So a KFC is maybe nothing to write about. You go to an exotic location such as the United Arab Emirates and what do you eat? KFC!That said, we have been to this fast food joint every year since 1999 and we still love it. After gorging on haute cuisine at the Meridian...
dave.richards Says: If your looking forward for a rampant nightlife then you are in the wrong city. Fujairah boasts little in the way of night clubs apart from a few in the tourist hotels.Most nightlife is based on the family. Sitting on the promenade, outside small coffee houses or slowly...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: You can get to Fujairah by car or by bus from Sharjah to Al Dhaid (50 km) along the E611 national road, then to Masafi (30 km) along the E18 road, then to Fujairah (30 km) along the E89 road (about 110 km in total). The roads are rather good (two lines in each way). But if...
dave.richards Says: In Dubai, the bus service is regular, cheap and safe. In Fujairah, it doesn't exist, so don't expect to find a bus stop anywhere, you wont.Car hire is the best way of travel. Go to an international car hire office. On a motor bike? Best of luck! Nationals are not known for...
Masafi: Fruits and Vegetables Market
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Masafi Market is also a great place to buy fruits, vegetables and garden plants.Most of the fruits is imported (mainly served by Bangladeshis), but some of the vegetables are grown locally. The pottery is based on local designs.Reductions of between 50 and 80% are not...
Safeer and Lulus: If you love 'nicknacks'
dave.richards Says: Both Safeer supermarkets and Lulus department store carry a wide range of all things domestic. If we lived in the UAE and wanted to furnish our home then these are the two shops to visit. From ornaments, to tea services, from bedding to HI-fi's, from clothes to shoes. All at...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Excuse my putting here another tip which isn’t really a Fujairah local custom tip but was created when I watched my stamp albums in search of a set of Fujairah stamps (see the previous tip). But how I was surprised when I found another set of stamps which I had never seen...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: It isn’t really a Fujairah local custom tip but a Russian (even a Soviet) local custom tip concerning Fujairah.Through the sixties and into the early seventies Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain were noted for its colorful, superbly designed postage stamps, the many series of which...
supladita_ilokana Says: We did not know that there was tar on the beach and we went walking only to find out there was tar all over our legs and feet... I imagine it would be such a disaster if it gets onto your hair...the life guard on the beach probably has the towelletes to take tar off..you can...
dave.richards Says: Infringments of the Laws of Sharia are severe in the extreme. take care to read up on them.Want to take a photo of a local girl or woman? DON'T !!! Unless you ask first. It is very insulting to take a photo without asking first and you could find your camera being...
dave.richards Says: Remember that the UAE is a Muslim country and penalties are severe for breaking the Sharia Laws. Anything against Mohammad and the Holy Quoran are dealt with heavily. Drinking alcohol in public is a no no as is a woman dressing 'scantily'. Don't even think about class C and...
dave.richards Says: Always carry a cooler bag with lots of chilled mineral drinks. NO alcohol though! Firstly you can dehydrate and secondly it is against the law to drink alcohol in a public place anywhere in the UAE. Unless you visit in the winter months (December through to March) you wont...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Masafi is a village located on the edge of the Hajar Mountains in Fujairah. It developed along the old unpaved road which ran from Fujairah to Dubai via Sharjah. The village is actually divided in to two parts with the larger section belonging to the emirate of Fujairah and...
dave.richards Says: If you get the chance, take a drive in a 4-wheeler up into the mountains. These areas remain as they were many years ago. Calm, serene, with fantastic views. Drive round a bend and come upon an oasis or a local farmer working on the land.If walking be careful for local...
DSwede Says: Diving the east coast of UAE, along the Gulf of Oman, is much better than the west coast. The east coast has better visibility and lower salinity. You will not have to wear as many weights, making it more comfortable. You will have better clarity to enjoy the critters you...
adelinemmc Says: Very good dives can be had from Fujairah. Maybe not as great as Oman (never been so can't compare) but I loved it and the water was veru warm (27 to 32 celcius depending on depth in June).Diving is much better than on the Gulf side (Dubai). The viz is approx 10 to 20...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Fujairah is one of the seven emirates that make up the United Arab Emirates, and the only one on the Gulf of Oman in the country's east.Fujairah is well known for its Wadis due to the geological topography of the area. Wadis are dry riverbeds that contain water after a heavy...
