Fujairah Corniche
كورنيش الفجيرة
A city seafront on the Gulf of Oman, good for evening strolls and watching the tanker anchorage. On Fridays, traditional bull-butting contests can be seen.
The Fujairah Corniche runs for several kilometres along the Gulf of Oman, with walkways, beaches, lawns and cafés. Out on the sea, huge oil tankers wait at anchor to refuel, a distinctive sight at one of the world's major marine bunkering ports. In winter, traditional 'bull-butting' contests are often held near the seafront on Friday evenings from about 4 pm. Two bulls lock horns in a contest that does not harm the animals. Locals gather to watch, and it is free. The seawater is clear, but beach swimming facilities in the city are limited, so Al Aqah Beach to the north is the better choice.
