Discover the UAE's only East Coast emirate — dramatic mountain passes, ancient forts, the Friday Market & the famous Snoopy Island rock formation.
The Fujairah East Coast Tour takes you to the UAE's only emirate on the Gulf of Oman — a mountainous coastline with clean beaches, historic forts, and a very different feel from the Arabian Gulf side.
The route crosses the dramatic Hajjar Mountains through stunning wadis and traditional villages, arriving at Fujairah city on the East Coast. Highlights include the Fujairah Fort (oldest in the UAE, 16th century), Fujairah Museum, Sheikh Zayed Mosque (one of the largest in the country), the Fujairah Corniche, and the famous Friday Market (actually open daily) with pottery, carpets & local produce.
You'll also drive past the dramatic Snoopy Island (a rock formation that looks like the comic character) — a famous snorkeling spot — and the pristine beaches of Al Aqah. The dramatic mountain-meets-ocean scenery is the highlight.
Perfect for anyone wanting to see a completely different side of the UAE — one few tourists ever discover.

About 140km — 2 to 2.5 hours by car via the Hajjar Mountains. The mountain drive is spectacular with multiple photo stops. Total day trip is 10-11 hours.
Fujairah is on the Gulf of Oman (not the Arabian Gulf), so the water is deeper blue and the coast is more mountainous. It's quieter, more traditional, and has fewer tourists. Best spot to see the "real" UAE coast.
Snoopy Island is a natural rock formation in the Gulf of Oman that resembles the cartoon character Snoopy lying on his back. It's a famous snorkeling & dive spot with rich marine life.
This tour stays within UAE borders (Fujairah only). No Oman crossing required. If you want Oman, book the Musandam Dibba Day Trip instead.
