Private Day Excursion Along the East Coast of the UAE

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Dubai hotel, as we venture away from the bustling city toward the serene east coast. This journey will take us through the emirates of Sharjah and Kalba, traversing a historic path that has linked pearl and spice merchants between the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean for centuries.

After approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes of travel, we will reach the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah, recognized as the second largest mosque in the UAE.

The structure's domes tower gracefully above the minarets, resembling moons of marble. We will wander through its spacious courtyards adorned with white stone, taking in the intricate geometric patterns that serve as a brilliant testament to Islamic artistry.

Following our visit, we will proceed to the Fujairah Museum. Here, we will delve into the rich history of the communities that thrived in this area long before the nation was established. Among an array of artifacts such as ancient weaponry, ceramics, and jewelry, we will uncover the enduring legacy of the Bedouin tribes and their captivating cultural heritage.

Continuing our journey, we will drive north for about 25 minutes to Khor Fakkan, a coastal treasure nestled against the backdrop of the Al Hajar Mountains.

We will take a leisurely walk through the main square, where we can observe the amphitheater and an artificial waterfall, both symbols of the emirate’s cultural renewal. This port has long been coveted by the Portuguese and British due to its advantageous position along the Indian Ocean. During this stop, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy some free time for lunch.

Finally, we will navigate the winding roads leading to the heritage village of Najd Al Maqsar, a restored fortress that captures the essence of early Arab settlements. From the heights, breathtaking views of the valley await, and we will explore the historical significance of this remarkable site before making our way back to Dubai.

After a fulfilling day of exploration, we will drop you off at your hotel, concluding a memorable 9-hour experience.
