An Inviting Step right inside the Fujairah Museum
The Fujairah Museum, which is next to the old Fujairah Fort, has a wealth of historical relics that span many decades.

Exhibits are dispersed across the museum’s well-planned rooms. Sections devoted to traditional arts and crafts, historical weapons, and archeological finds are available to visitors. Bronze and iron age tools and relics were on exhibit, providing a window into a world that existed thousands of years ago.
Decorative ceramics and jewelry, for example, showed how the area’s changing economic and cultural exchanges over centuries, which our guide brought to our attention. Beyond a simple walk-through, it became an enthralling voyage through time thanks to the well crafted narrative.

As a family, we loved exploring the fort’s maze of walkways and taking in the sights and sounds of its unusual mud, gravel, and plaster construction. At the peak, we could see for miles around Fujairah and its beaches and mountains, providing the ideal backdrop for some stunning photographs of the Fujairah Museum.
