Fujairah Heritage Village

About this place

Fujairah Heritage Village recreates traditional houses, tools, irrigation, craft and working spaces from east-coast life before rapid modernisation. Located near Fujairah Fort, it helps visitors connect the monumental defensive site with the farming, fishing and household activities that sustained the surrounding community. For tourists, the place adds living practice to an itinerary of forts and archaeological remains. Pay attention to demonstrations, oral histories, music, craft, boats or market activity and the skills required to sustain them. These traditions changed with new technology and urban growth but continue to shape identity and public celebrations. Programmes vary by season, so confirm what is available before travelling, behave respectfully around working participants and take time to understand the activity rather than treating it only as a photograph.
