East Coast Fujairah Private Day Tour from Dubai — Hajar Mountains, Dibba & Al Badiyah

The Experience
Before You Go
Beat the heat
Start early or schedule the pickup in the morning to avoid strongest midday sun and rougher sea conditions for swimming.
Bring local cash
Small vendors at Masafi and roadside stalls prefer dirhams—carry small notes for bargaining and snacks.
Footwear for heritage sites
Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip for uneven stone floors at Al Badiyah Mosque and Fujairah Fort.
Check sea conditions
Confirm with your guide before swimming—coastal currents can change and guides will choose the safest beach stop.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Masafi roadside stalls for fresh coconut water and grilled corn
- •The small port at Dibba for watching local dhows and early-morning fish auctions
Wildlife

Conservation Note
Coastal habitats and mountain wadis are sensitive—avoid leaving litter and follow guide instructions to protect nesting shorebirds and fragile desert plants.
Fujairah’s coast has long been a maritime corridor; Al Badiyah Mosque is one of the oldest surviving mosques in the Emirates and Fujairah Fort guarded trade routes inland for centuries.
