Al Fujairah Cruise
Bullfighting and steep mountains
The largest settlement on the United Arab Emirates’ east coast, Fujairah (or “Fujairah city” – where your MSC cruise ship awaits your return – as it’s often described to distinguish it from the eponymous emirate) has recently enjoyed something of a minor boom, mainly on the back of economic developments in neighbouring emirates, especially Dubai.
The focus of much of this is the city’s massive oil-refuelling port – the world’s third largest after Singapore and Rotterdam – at the southern end of town, which is where most of the UAE’s oil is exported from, as its east coast location saves shipping from making a two-day dog-leg around the tip of the Arabian peninsula. MSC Dubai, Abu Dhabi & India also offer excursions to the main sight in town: the photogenic Fujairah Fort (not currently open to the public), off Madhab Road on the northern edge of the city centre.
