Why drive in Fujairah

Fujairah is the only UAE emirate located entirely on the Gulf of Oman, with completely different scenery than the rest of the country: rugged Hajar Mountains rising from the coast, fishing villages, traditional dhow harbours, and crystal-clear waters that draw divers from across the region. The drive from Dubai over the mountains is itself a highlight — modern highways with switchbacks, viewpoints, and dramatic gorges.

Public transport to and within Fujairah is limited. A rental car is essentially the only way to explore the region properly.
