East Coast and Sharjah Day Tour from Dubai: Fujairah Beaches, Hajjar Peaks & Cultural Stops
Swap Dubai skyscrapers for coastal roads, mountain outcrops and small-town markets on a full-day run to Fujairah and Sharjah. This guided tour packs forts, mosques, a mineral-water stop and optional beach time into a single, scenic day.
The Experience
Before You Go
Start Early
Pick the earliest pickup to maximize cooler morning light on the Hajjar Mountains and avoid afternoon traffic returning to Dubai.
Sun and Hydration
Bring a high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and at least 1–2 liters of water per person—shade is limited at open stops.
Shoes for Short Walks
Wear sturdy shoes or trainers for uneven surfaces at the fort, mosque ruins and market stalls; sandals are fine for beach time only.
Book Lunch If You Want Beach Access
If you want to use a hotel beach, reserve the lunch option; otherwise plan for rest stops and local cafés in towns like Khorfakkan or Fujairah.

Conservation Note
Coastal development pressures mean visitors should avoid littering, stick to trails, and respect protected marine and wetland areas to reduce disturbance.
The east coast was a maritime corridor linking Arabian Gulf traders and local agriculture; small forts and mosques reflect centuries of coastal settlement and defense.
