Architectural attractions of Fujairah
Those interested in history should visit the walls of the medieval fort of Al-Hail, which is open to visitors, and the Ottoman mosque (the oldest in the UAE), which is visited by pilgrims from all over the country.
Getting to the fortress of Al-Hail is a pleasure, because the road you will be driving on is a highway connecting Fujairah and other emirates of the UAE. The fortress was built in 1670. Tourists are impressed not only by the grandeur of the fortress, but also by the interior rooms, bedrooms, storerooms and especially the watchtower, from which they once watched the sea horizon, from where an enemy could appear. The oldest mosque in the UAE - El Bidiya, or the Ottoman Mosque, is completely shrouded in mystery. Unfortunately, the chronicles do not contain data on when it was built. In some records, it is found that it appeared thousands of years before the arrival of Islam in the UAE. The name of the mosque - Ottoman - remains a mystery: scientists are sure that it has nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire.
