Fujairah, an emirate on the east coast of the United Arab Emirates along the Gulf of Oman, is renowned for its beaches and the Hajar Mountains that traverse much of the region. In the southern part of the emirate lies the city of Fujairah, home to the impressive Sheikh Zayed Mosque with its towering white minarets. Overlooking the city is Fujairah Fort, a reconstructed 17th-century fortress featuring both round and square towers.
