What travellers are saying
- Benedick B4 contributionsImpressive tour experience during my visit, The tour guide named Aysha Al Yammahi explained everything in a matter of 26 mins.
A lot of information about the Islamic culture and the grand mosque was discussed.
I would suggest whenever you are in Fujairah to visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.Written 27 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The simple mud construction of this building reflects the time it was built. Compared with the elaborate mosques, its simplicity is a reminder of the early days. Some parts are open but you must honor the rules for clothing that include taking off shoes. There is a religious shop. There are benches and trees to quietly soak in the atmosphere. The hike up the hill to the two towers is relatively easy for a nice view of the surrounding valley.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tia Lazzeri-MaddenBournemouth, UK11 contributionsWe stayed at a lovely hotel locally named Royal Beacg and took their restort boat over to snoopy island. We loved the experience and saw a few different types of fish - we were happy with this as we really love snorkelling but was a shame we couldn’t see any turtles or sharks etc. but we enjoyed it nevertheless! The sea was also very warm and lovely!Written 1 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MaryTucson, AZ35 contributionsThis is a fairly simple and functional fort. There are steep steps or a steep ramp to the entrance and more steps in the entryway. There is the typical open flat center. I had been grumbling about a lack of post cards at most of our stops. A young man stood with a basket of assorted items such as flags and a packet of post cards. Most welcome. The towers have fairly steep steps. However, they give you a good understanding of the tactical importance of the fort -- good views. There are other exhibits such as the houses which you will see on the left as you drove through the entry arch. We were on a tour and had no time for this. It looks interesting. No tour guides.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Aragon2907Dubai, United Arab Emirates18 contributionsGood for a quick escape from the city.
Well maintained by a Caretaker company guide who explains the history and stuff. Good toilet facilities also available.
Any car can reach, but a small portion of road is damaged and irregular for regular sedans, but doable with careWritten 1 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mayssaa KAl Ain, United Arab Emirates673 contributionsDibba is a small quiet village where the population is not so big...
You can enjoy sitting at the park, have a walk by the beach or having breakfast there...
It’s relaxing, romantic and enjoyable...
Tourist visit it often to enjoy far pace away from crowds and traffic...Written 9 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a bit of an ‘Indiana Jones’ adventure to reach the Fort, you will need to drive off bitumen road and through a riverbed to get to it however Google Maps will get you to the front gate no problems. Originally built in the early 1700’s, the Fort has been destroyed a number of times, most recently in the early 1970’s. It’s not clear how much of the current Fort is original however some information I have found indicates the Fort was restored from original blocks of burnt clay. Unfortunately the Fort was closed due to COVID 19 however I did manage to get some interesting photos from the riverbed.Written 30 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ian cLiverpool, UK16 contributionsLoved sandy beach. Fantastic infinity pool, good food at the snack bar and restaurant. My granddaughter loved the pool slides. The beach and snoopy island view is the best in Fujairah. Great watersports available. Would happily go back tomorrow.Written 16 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MaryTucson, AZ35 contributionsYou need to go here expecting to spend some time. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see fruits and vegetables that you will never see anywhere else. Because it is for locals, do not expect to find post cards and tourist kitsch. According to our guide, the area is known for its love of camping and this is a campers last stop. Besides food, it has prayer rugs, coffee pots and all kinds of other practical items for camping. An adjacent store has clean restrooms. There are additional stores and markets across the street if you don’t find what you want.Written 8 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kf6krqMelbourne, FL20 contributionsAn excellent beach area with shaded areas. But with temperatures in the mid 40sC there was no one on the beach. Maybe it would have been busier on a Friday.
Very few facilities but there was a KFC opposite one area.Written 8 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Abeer HDubai, United Arab Emirates1,300 contributionsIt is not a mall. It's a hyper market. Lulu mall is in dibba and an hour away from Fujairah city. We were staying in Radisson blu Fujairah and since there were very limited good options in hotel we went to lulu thinking it's a mall. Only food place was KFC in lulu and one coffee shop on first floor.
For shopping it is a good place like a regular lulu.Written 23 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Wonderful center. Twice a day there is a show with hunting birds.
Al Ghayl Fort, sometimes also spelled as Al Ghail or Gheel, is part of the Kalba Birds of Prey Centre. It can be visited for a fee, but only as a visitor of the bird park. The fort itself is small but especially together with the bird park worth your visit.
It is said that it was first built by an Ali bin Zahi. The fort was rebuilt or completed by Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi in the beginning of the 19th century. It was built on a hill and its purpose was to protect the locals and nearby caravan routes from bandits.
Al Ghayl Fort consists of a projecting round watch tower within a rectangular enclosure with several small buildings. One of the buildings holds an old Arabic date press.Written 5 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Very friendly people and many services to appease the diverse population of the town. Special occasion masses very crowded but a few to choose from. Very nice experience.Written 12 November 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
