The mosque stands back from the road at Biddiya (spellings on maps and signage varies, so be warned). It has unique architecture and apparently dates back to the 14th century. It is not open to non-Muslims, so don't try to get in if you are not of the faith. You can see the outside of the building from the gate. It is worth a stop if you are in the Khor Fakkhan area, and also for the views of the mountains from the watch tower on the promontory behind it.

Situated in the beautiful Emirate of Fujairah , with a small fort on a hill as a backdrop, its said to have been built by the followers of the holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) more than 500 years ago or so, and is claimed to be the most ancient mosque in the UAE. Very small, with a central pillar, and space for about 10 people for prayer, it is a unique mosque.We loved it as it is symbolic of the need to build a place for bedouins to perform their prayer, way back in the ancient times, and conveys the spirituality more than the modern mosques boasting of materialistic beauty. An absolute visit , both for the mosque and the Emirate of Fujairah. We enjoyed this day of our visit the most during our stay, as we covered 5 Emirates on that day,in the presence of a very special Emirati , who took much pride in showing us the real beauty of the UAE.
