Fujairah Museum

Fujairah Museum, Archaeological museum in Fujairah City, United Arab Emirates.

Fujairah Museum is an archaeology and local history museum in Fujairah City. Its heritage section occupies three halls: the first shows farming and fishing gear such as wooden boats and nets, the second displays costumes, household vessels, a model of a traditional house and old weapons, and the third holds stone and copper tools, axes and coins. The antiquities section presents finds from tombs at Al Badiyah, Dibba Al-Fujairah and Qidfa', including arrowheads, carnelian beads and vessels, arranged chronologically.

A single-room museum opened in 1969 with coins, farming tools, pottery and weapons. On 27 May 1991 Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi decreed a Department of Antiquities and Heritage for Fujairah, and on 30 November 1991 the ruler opened the museum. In 1998 the Department finished an expansion adding two large antiquities halls and three heritage halls.

The collections show how local people lived and worked through objects related to fishing, weaving, and craft production. You can see everyday items that tell the story of how families built their lives and communities in this region.

The museum stands a few metres from Fujairah Fort, so both can be visited on foot in one outing. It opens Saturday to Thursday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, and is closed on Fridays. Guided tours can be arranged by contacting the museum in advance.

The collection numbers 2,100 artifacts, among them arrowheads, carnelian beads and vessels excavated from tombs at Al Badiyah, Dibba Al-Fujairah and Qidfa'. A third hall recreates a spice shop and souq, and the museum library publishes excavation reports as booklets.
