Masafi, Fujairah, United Arab Emirates - Friday Market (2020)

Masafi (Arabic: مسافي‎) is a village located on the edge of the Hajar Mountains in the United Arab Emirates. It sits at the inland entrance of the Wadi Ham, which runs down to Fujairah City. The border between the emirates of Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah runs through the town, which houses a barracks used by the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces. Located some 5 km West of Masafi (on the Dhaid Road), the Masafi Friday Market (Souk Al Juma'a) is actually open week-round and has become a popular tourist destination, consisting of a number of permanent and semi-permanent stalls selling toys, souvenirs, plants, carpets and rugs, pots and fruit and vegetables. The market grew around a number of farmers and other vendors using the presence of speed bumps on the road slowing traffic to sell vegetables and accessories from the backs of their trucks and expanded over time to form the present township. Much of one side of the market (on the Masafi/Dhaid carriageway) was destroyed by fire on 30 May 2015. Fujairah City (Arabic: الفجيرة‎) is the capital of the emirate of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates, located on the Gulf of Oman (part of the Indian Ocean). In 2016, the city had a population of 97,226, a significant number (43%) compared to 225,360 in the entire emirate. The restored Fujairah Fort and the nearby Fujairah Museum are located in Fujairah City. Fujairah Heritage Village, near Madhab Spring Park, preserves some of the emirate's past. The main mosque is the large white Sheikh Zayed Mosque, the second largest in the UAE and a landmark that is visible from many locations in the centre of the city. It can hold around 28,000 worshippers. On the seafront are Fujairah Corniche and Fujairah International Marine Club on Al Corniche Road. There is also bull fighting on Friday afternoons. To the north is Fujairah Beach on Al Faseel Road. Most major hotels are on or close to Hamad Bin Abdulla Road and Al Corniche Road.
