This route reveals the UAE's natural diversity—from desert fauna to mountain scenery and pristine beaches—with cultural stops and seaside dining included.

Take the coastal road towards Sharjah on this full-day east coast tour and start your day off with a visit to the Arabian Wildlife Park.

At the Park you’ll be able to see most of the varieties of animals that call the desert home, including reptiles such as snakes and scorpions. Enjoy a short visit to the archaeological museum as well.

Continue on to Fujairah on the east coast, where you’ll encounter mountainous terrain and archaeological sites. Fujairah is admired for its lush landscape and a coastline that stretches for more than 70 kilometers.

Your route will take in a number of interesting sites, such as the old mosque al Bidya and the famous market known as Souk Friday, where you can buy a wide variety of traditional objects and fruits.

Explore the Heritage Village and see an assortment of traditional houses and fishing boats that throw light on earlier days in the UAE.

our host Noa had so many stories and the slow-cooked tagine was the highlight. Last day of the trip so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in dubrovnik, and last day of the trip. Would book again no question.

our host Marco was nice enough, but a fish taco from a tiny street stall felt a bit rushed honestly. Over easter break. Would only really suit you if youre not fussy, rolled home properly stuffed. Bit disappointed ngl, would only really suit you if youre not fussy, we hit 6 tastings.
