| While the Indian Ocean is enticingly close, the beach would not seem to be a good option to swim at. The profusion of offshore oil rigs contributes to its ugly appearance, and local attitudes are relatively conservative when it comes to bare flesh. All things considered, Fujairah is probably more suited as a base from which to go on excursions to the surrounding areas (most of which are enclaves of Sharjah), rather than doing anything much else. The city is growing in stature as a business destination, particularly where oil is concerned, but tourism remains significantly behind.
