Industrial Background

Fujairah, with a breathtaking coastline of more than 90km, is the only emirate situated entirely along the Gulf of Oman. The emirate occupies an area equal to 1.5 per cent of the country’s total landmass.

Fujairah is a place of considerable natural beauty where jagged mountains and valleys sweep down to the settled palm-fringed coastal plain.

There are some stunning beaches and good diving locations along the coast, whilst the hinterland features many cultural and historic sites.

Agriculture and fishing, two traditional mainstays of the economy, still feature prominently.

Fujairah city, the capital, is not just an attractive town in a stunning setting it is also is a rapidly developing commercial and tourist centre. Its strategic location, which provides easy access to international shipping routes, has played a key role in its development as one of the world’s top oil-bunkering ports.

The main business area is along Hamad bin Abdullah Rd, between the Fujairah Trade Centre and the coast.
