The Al Sharqi family is the ruling charge of Fujairah, the only Emirate without a coastline on the Arabian Gulf. Nestled on the Gulf of Oman’s shore, Fujairah spans an area of over 1,300 square kilometers.Its primary topographical features are mountains and plains, in contrast to other Emirates where the desert occupies a significant portion of the land. The main drivers of Fujairah’s economy are agriculture and fishing. Rainwater from the Hajar Mountains irrigates the ground in Fujairah, making it perfect for agriculture. The current ruler of the emirate is Sheikh Hamad bin MohammedAlSharqi.

The Port of Fujairah is next to the Fujairah Free Zone. With weekly feeder vessels, businesses established here have easy access to all ports in the Arabian Gulf, the Red Sea, India, and Pakistan. Weekly departures from North America and twice weekly to the Far East are made by mainline services that arrive from Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, the Far East, and NorthAmerica. The only airport serving the UAE East Coast and northern Oman, Fujairah International Airport, is located adjacent to the Fujairah Free Zone.The Free Zone of Fujairah is a great site for business thanks to its advantageous location near the world’s main shipping lanes, a first-rate port and airport, and efficient administrative processes.The triple advantage of the Fujairah Free Zone—accessibility, connectivity, and economy—benefits investors.
