Fujairah is the only member of the federation of the United Arab Emirates that lies exclusively on the country’s East Coast, overlooking the Gulf of Oman. It embraces a set of varied landscapes consisting of mountains, alluvial plains and coastal habitats. Among these is a land type that is representative of the Hajar Mountains.
The Wadi Wurayah water catchment area, now protected as part of the Wadi Wurayah National Park, WWNP, lies totally within a priority WWF Global 200 ecoregion, namely Ecoregion 127, (Arabian Highlands and Shrub-lands). This catchment area includes a unique set of perennial freshwater habitats in the form of springs, pools, riffles/streams and waterfalls. Within the WWNP, an area of outstanding natural beauty, there is a rich biodiversity of fauna and flora in an important montane habitat.
Missing. Looking for a postcard of this tentative list.
