Driving and nearby places in Fujairah
Fujairah sits on the UAE's east coast, and getting there from Dubai or Sharjah usually means crossing the Hajar Mountains via routes such as the Sharjah–Fujairah highway or the Dubai–Fujairah corridor. These mountain roads involve tunnels and elevated sections, so allowing extra time is sensible, particularly at weekends when leisure traffic increases. Within Fujairah itself, roads are generally quieter, with the Corniche and port areas being the busiest points. Parking around the city centre and Corniche is usually manageable outside of major holidays.
