The only emirate without a coastline on the Arabian Gulf is Fujairah,
which is ruled by the Al Sharqi family. Situated along the coast of the
Gulf of Oman, Fujairah covers about 1,300 square kilometres. Unlike
other emirates, where the desert forms a large part of the terrain,
mountains and plains are its predominant features. Fujairah's economy is
based on fishing and agriculture. Like Ras Al Khaimah, the land in
Fujairah is irrigated by rainwater from the Hajar Mountains, making it
ideal for farming. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi is the present
ruler.
