Fujairah Shore Excursion - This half day tour tour showcases the stunning natural beauty and fascinating history of Fujairah, the only Emirate on United on the scenic east coast of UAE.

After meeting your guide at the pier in Fujairah, you drive to Kalba, an enclave belonging to Sharjah, where you will visit Bait Al Sheikh Saeed. This beautifully restored private home belongs to the representative of the Ruler of Sharjah on the east coast. It was built at the turn of the 19th century in an artistic Islamic Pan-Arabian architectural style.

Next is a short visit to Khor Kalba, the largest mangrove swamp in the country and home to a wide variety of migratory birds.

On the way back towards Fujairah, you will visit the Fujairah Heritage Village, a recreation of 16th century village life in Arabia. You will see traditional houses and fishing boats made from palm fronds.

Next you visit the Fujairah Museum which is famous for its collection of old weapons, traditional costumes and artifacts which have been excavated from around the east coast.

Before ending your tour you enjoy a photo-stop at the Old Fort of Fujairah. The fort is about 350 years old and was badly damaged in the early 20th century but it has since been restored to its former glory.
