Fujairah

1The hill

Immediately east of the central storage and maintenance apron lies a hill that was the only real vantage point for a long time. From both the terminal and town sides, tracks lead up the hill that are partially suitable for rental cars. It is wise to walk the last part, act quickly and keep a low profile - all the more so as the police have a station on the southeastern hilltop! Apart from that, the top offers an excellent view on parts of the storage, often packed with planes. The other aprons and their contents are visible too and many numbers can be read off if the hot air allows so. Photography is reasonably good for the nearby aircraft, but this obviously involves a risk.

2Terminal

Both from the terminal building and its car park, spotting is possible and can be done without attracting attention by being swift and careful. The new upstairs cafe in the terminal has panoramic windows, providing for a great view. Be aware, visible binoculars and cameras are a guarantee for trouble.

3Highrise

From several nearby buildings, one can obtain an excellent - albeit somewhat distant - view over the airport. When combined with a view from the hill, this should be good for a nearly full log of the many airframes usually present. The Fujairah Trade Centre and Fujairah Tower are certainly worth trying.
