Fujairah East Coast Private Tour — Forts, Mosques & Coastal Drives from Dubai
Escape Dubai’s skyline for an 8‑hour private tour of Fujairah’s east coast — historic forts, a centuries‑old mosque, Khor Fakkan’s beaches and the lively Masafi market. Expect short walks, dramatic mountain-to-sea scenery, and easy pacing suitable for most travelers.
The Experience
Before You Go
Mosque dress code
Wear shoulders- and knees-covering clothing and carry a scarf for women; remove shoes for mosque interiors.
Sun and heat
Bring sunscreen, a wide-brim hat and a refillable water bottle — coastal sun and reflective sand intensify exposure.
Footwear for short walks
Closed-toe walking shoes handle uneven fort stones and rocky beach edges better than sandals.
Cash for the Friday Market
Carry small bills for purchases at Masafi; haggling is common for textiles and household goods.
