Fujairah, the Emirate on the east coast
The ancient Al Bidiyah mosque, built between 1446 and 1668 from stone, mud brick and gypsum. It is the oldest worship place in the United Arab Emirates and also known as Ottoman Mosque (named after the person who had constructed it). In the background is the northern watchtower.
