Al Bidya Mosque & Fujairah Fort Trip

After picking you up from your hotels in Dubai between 8:30 and 9 am, we'll set off on an hour's journey to the Friday Market, near Masafi.

On the journey, we'll leave the skyscrapers of Dubai behind and pass by incredible views of mountains and agricultural areas of Al Dhaid. Upon arrival at the market, you'll be able to explore its many stalls filled with fruits, vegetables, carpets, toys, and more!

Following our visit to the Friday Market, we'll hop back on the bus and head to the renowned Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah, the second largest mosque in the United Arab Emirates, which can accommodate up to 28,000 worshippers.

After our visit to the mosque, we will make our way to the Fujairah Fort, built in 1670. As the oldest fort in the country, it served a crucial defensive purpose for centuries. You will learn many fascinating details about this construction, which has also functioned as a residence for high officials of the emirate, and appreciate the restored houses showing the traditional Emirati way of life nearby.

Next, we will traverse the city of Khor Fakan while admiring its spectacular waterfall until we reach the Al Bidya Mosque, constructed in 1446 amidst the Hajar mountains. Although other Islamic structures were built prior, this mosque is the oldest still standing today, retaining its 15th-century architecture!

We'll also visit an ancient Roman theater before returning to Fujairah, where you'll have two and a half hours for lunch. Satisfied, we’ll make our way back to the hotels, arriving between 4:30 and 5 pm.

If you book this excursion with lunch, you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch at a hotel with a private beach, including water and soft drinks. If you opt for the option without lunch, you'll have time to eat at a restaurant of your choice in Fujairah.
