Fujairah Museum

About this place

Fujairah Museum displays archaeological finds from sites across the emirate, including pottery, weapons, jewellery and objects spanning prehistoric to Islamic periods. Ethnographic galleries add evidence of farming, fishing and household life, providing context for the forts and mountain settlements nearby. A visitor can use the collections to connect individual objects with larger changes in Emirati life: oasis farming, pearling, dhow trade, household work, education, government and the transition after oil. Read dates and provenances closely and compare reconstructions with original artefacts, photographs and oral testimony. This makes the museum useful historical evidence rather than a display of attractive antiques. Exhibitions and opening arrangements can change, so check the official venue information before planning a journey.
