Fujairah الفجيرة, UAE

Fort Bithnah, Wadi Ham, Fujairah


Fujairah (Arabic: الفجيرة) is the only emirate of the United Arab Emirates that faces the Gulf of Oman rather than the Persian Gulf. Ruled by Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, it has a population of 130,000 people.

Fujairah was the last emirates to join the Trucial States when it entered treaty relations with Britain in 1902. It was one of the founding emirates of the UAE in 1971. Unlike the other emirates, which are predominantly covered by low-lying desert facing the coast, Fujairah is mountainous. It therefore receives more rain, enabling agriculture to be a viable option.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
