With so many things to do in and around Fujairah, it can be difficult to plan what to do. Following this 7-day itinerary will ensure that you get to experience all that Fujairah, as well as the UAE, has to offer so you wont miss out on any of the must-see sights in this region.

Hiking Trip

Pack a sack lunch and dress in clothing that is light for a hike in and around the surrounding Hajjar mountain range. This region of the UAE is primarily rocky and mountainous, making it a prime location for day hikes and camping trips. The mountain range is covered with "wadis" which are dried out, rocky riverbeds. These beds are a perfect location for a hike. Hiking spots can be found all along the coastal highway and are ideal for a day trip.

Deep Sea Diving

All along the coast of the UAE are professional diving shops. Viewing the beautiful and diverse sea life in the Persian Gulf in between the UAE and the famous Snoopy Island is not an experience you will want to miss. Visit a local diving center for a variety of diving options ranging from snorkeling to deep sea diving.

Shopping in Dubai

With dozens of malls and specialized boutiques such as Fendi, Dolce and Gabanna, Tiffany and Co., Coach and much, much more, a mere day shopping in Dubai might not be enough! Dubai is one of the best locations in the Middle East for shopping. One can easily spend a day getting lost going in and out of shops.

Overnight (Two-Day) Safari

Also in Dubai is the best location in the UAE for desert safaris. An overnight safari includes camel rides to view the beautiful scenery, exciting local activities such as exotic belly dancing, complimentary henna tattoos, ethnic foods and drink and camping under the stars.

A Day at the Beach

If you're staying in Fujairah, you're more than likely staying at one of the many hotels that dot the beautiful sandy, white beaches. A day lounging in a beach chair, under a big umbrella, sipping cocktails and taking periodic dips in the warm, clear waters is a relaxing day everyone needs. Spots like Sandy Beach give visitors the peace they need after a long day shopping or a long night camping under the stars on a safari.

Trip to Ancient Ruins

For an educational experience, look no farther than a day visiting local museums and ancient ruins. The Fujairah Museum is the perfect place to start, getting a cultural overview of how this emirate has evolved over the past few centuries. Then visit Fujairah and the Fujairah Heritage Village, which offers a tour of an ancient fortress and homes furnished with period tools, housewares, furniture and clothing.
