UAE/Fujairah: Al-Badiya Mosque & Fort
Al-Badiya Mosque is the oldest mosque in the UAE, built in 1496 and is also know as Ottoman mosque. It’s a small building made of clay rocks and mudbricks and covered with plaster with a small prayer hall inside. While small, the mosque holds tremendous religious significance for the Emirati. Above the mosque, there are two round defensive towers of a fort built years later, offering panoramic views of the Fujairah countryside.
