# One day in Fujairah: an itinerary in the best order > Fujairah is the only emirate on the Gulf of Oman, beyond the Hajar Mountains. One day covers the sea, the old quarter and the forts.

After lunch: the Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the country's second largest, Heritage Village and Bithnah Fort above a palm valley. Transfers are 10–20 minutes by taxi.

After lunch, the mosque, Heritage Village on the west side of town and Bithnah Fort on the Masafi road — handy on the drive back to Dubai. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## Getting to Fujairah from Dubai RTA bus E700 reaches Fujairah bus station in about 2 hours, paid with a Nol card. Etihad Rail runs from Al Yalayis in 1 h 10 min, one train a day, from 29 AED. By car it is about 1.5 hours, and Bithnah Fort is right on the way. ## The northern coast 40 km north are [Al Badiyah Mosque](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/fujairah/al-badiyah-mosque), the oldest in the UAE, and [Snoopy Island](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/fujairah/snoopy-island) for snorkelling from the shore. On the way is the [Khor Fakkan waterfall](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/fujairah/khor-fakkan-waterfall) on a cliff above the seafront, lit up at night. ## Tips - The forts and Heritage Village have no cafés and little shade — water and a hat. - Carry small dirham notes for the little museums. - Mosques and palaces want shoulders and knees covered, and women need a headscarf; malls and museums also ask for no beachwear. - The UAE uses the dirham (AED). Cards work almost everywhere; keep some cash for abras, souks and small museums. Dubai's metro needs a Nol card. - The sun sets behind the mountains, not over the sea — the Corniche is best in the morning or at dusk. ## Questions ### What to do in Fujairah in one day?
