Major city · United Arab Emirates
Fujairah
Spend 1–2 days in Fujairah for beaches, forts and the Al Bidya Mosque; one day covers the main sights, add a second for beach or Wadi trekking.
Fujairah, the UAE's easternmost emirate, offers historic forts, the oldest mosque, coral reefs and easy access to the Hajar mountains. A single day lets you hit the forts, museum and a beach; a second day adds a Wadi hike or a longer beach stay. Travel is simple by bus from Dubai (2 h, 30 AED) or by car (≈2 h).
