Museum - Fujairah Fort This reputedly 360-year-old fort lies on a hill at the edge of the date gardens, surrounded by the remains of the old town houses. The fort was severely damaged in the early twentieth century by a British bombardment. Some restoration work has been done in the past, but recently renovations have commenced to prepare the fort to house the artifacts now on display in Fujairah Museum.

Situated just south of the fort and opposite the Ruler’s Palace, Fujairah Museum is a small modern building, where many of the artifacts found in archaeological digs at Qidfa, Bithnah and other places are on display. It is open from 8 a.m. to1 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily except Saturday. Admission Dh2 for adults, children Dh1.
