Through the Hajar Mountains
The Dubai to Fujairah drive is one of the most scenic in the UAE. From Dubai the route runs on the E611 Emirates Road, then across the Hajar Mountains on the tunnelled Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road (Highway 84) - rocky peaks, winding roads, and dramatic valleys before descending to the east coast. Total distance approximately 130 km, 1.5 to 2 hours. By taxi the run is agreed as a flat rate rather than metered, and our Dubai to Fujairah taxi fare guide puts it at AED 200 to AED 300.

Day Trip: How It Works
Your driver picks you up from your Dubai address in the morning, drives through the mountains to Fujairah, and waits while you spend the day. In the evening, you leave together and return to Dubai. One booking, fixed price, both legs covered. No rebooking a return taxi in Fujairah from a remote beach location.
