Fujairah East Coast Tour From Dubai
✓ Instant confirmation
عن هذه التجربة
Swap skyscrapers for mountains on this private full-day tour from Dubai to the UAE’s east coast. The road climbs through the rust-red Hajar range to the emirate of Fujairah — home to the country’s oldest mosque, its hilltop forts and the beaches of the Gulf of Oman — with stops at the Masafi Friday Market and Khorfakkan along the way. It is the UAE most visitors never see, door-to-door in one day.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Across the Hajar Mountains
Within an hour of leaving Dubai the desert gives way to jagged peaks and wadis. At the Masafi Friday Market — open every day despite the name — roadside stalls overflow with carpets, pottery, plants and mountain-grown fruit, and a few dirhams of friendly haggling buys the best souvenirs of the trip.
The UAE’s Oldest Mosque and Its Forts
In Bidiya you will visit a humble mud-brick mosque that has hosted prayers for around five centuries — the oldest in the country, guarded by ancient watchtowers on the hill behind. Further south, Fujairah Fort rises over the palm groves as one of the best-preserved forts in the Emirates, and the neighbouring Fujairah Museum fills in the story with Bronze Age finds from the surrounding wadis.
Khorfakkan and the Gulf of Oman
The drive along the corniche into Khorfakkan is the scenic climax — a crescent of white beach wrapped in mountains, facing the open Gulf of Oman rather than the Arabian Gulf. There is time to swim, paddle or simply photograph a coastline that feels a world away from Dubai’s.

If day trips are your style, the Abu Dhabi City Tour from Dubai covers the capital’s mosque and palaces, the Full Day Dubai City Tour does the same for Dubai itself, and the Premium Evening Desert Safari ends the day among the dunes instead of the mountains.

"After four days of malls and towers, this was exactly the reset we needed. The moment the Hajar Mountains appeared I forgot we were in the same country. Bidiya Mosque is tiny and completely moving — five hundred years old and still in use. Best day of our trip."
"As a UAE resident I am embarrassed it took me this long to see Fujairah. The fort with the mountains behind it is spectacular, and our driver knew the exact pull-off on the Khorfakkan corniche for the postcard photo. Took my parents; everyone was delighted."
"Be ready for real driving time — about two hours each way — but the payoff is worth it. Swimming in the Gulf of Oman with mountains all around was surreal. Four stars only because the museum stop was brief; the driver was upfront that the beach deserved the time instead, and he was right."
"The Friday Market was my favourite shopping in the UAE — carpets and pottery at a fraction of city prices, and the fruit stalls let you taste everything. The whole east coast feels unhurried. Our car was comfortable, cool, and completely on our schedule."
"We wanted one day outside the city for the kids and this delivered: mountain scenery from the windows, a castle to climb around at Fujairah Fort, and a beach swim at Khorfakkan before the drive home. Both children slept the whole way back — the sign of a day well spent."
