About Masafi

Straddling the border of the Hajar mountains near Fujairah, the village once served as a trading post and refuelling stop before the establishment of the highways early in the 1970s. The major area of Masafi falls on the Fujairah side and the lesser area belongs to Ras-al-Khaimah.

The place got its name from the Arabic word ‘Masafi’ which means ‘pure water' as Masafi village is the largest producer of mineral water in the Gulf countries.
