Area Code 95 – Fujairah

Overview of +971 95 (Fujairah Geographic Code)

The +971 95 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Emirate of Fujairah, one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is used for fixed-line (PSTN) and fixed-wireless telephone services within Fujairah's administrative boundaries. The code is part of the UAE's national numbering plan, which follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations. When dialing a Fujairah number from abroad, callers use the international format +971 95X XXX XXX (or +971 9 5XX XXX for the full 9-digit national number). Within the UAE, callers dial 09 5XX XXX (omitting the international access code and country code).

Fujairah is the only emirate located entirely on the UAE's eastern coast along the Gulf of Oman, and its telephone network is served by the two national carriers: Etisalat (now e&) and du. The 95 prefix is used for both landlines and fixed-wireless services, and it is not assigned to mobile numbers—mobile services in the UAE use separate prefixes (e.g., 050, 052, 054, 055, 056, 058).

Geographic Coverage and Administration

The +971 95 code covers the city of Fujairah and its surrounding areas, including the Fujairah Free Zone, the port, and various residential and industrial districts. It also serves the emirate's exclaves, such as Masafi and Dibba Al-Fujairah, which are part of the emirate's territory. The code is administered by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), which oversees the UAE's numbering plan.

Dialing Instructions

• Local calls (within Fujairah): Dial the 9-digit number starting with 9, e.g., 09 512 3456.
• National calls (from other emirates): Dial 09 followed by the 8-digit subscriber number, e.g., 09 512 3456.
• International calls from abroad: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then 971, then 9, then the 8-digit number: +971 9 512 3456.

Overlays and Numbering Changes

As of 2025, there is no overlay code for Fujairah; the 9 prefix is unique to the emirate. However, due to the growing demand for fixed-line services, the TDRA may introduce additional NDCs in the future. Always verify the correct dialing format with your service provider if you experience issues.

Caller Guidance

For local callers: If you are within Fujairah, you can dial the 9-digit number directly (starting with 09). For international callers: Ensure you have the correct country code (+971) and drop the leading '0' from the national prefix. For example, a number listed as 09 512 3456 should be dialed as +971 9 512 3456 from abroad.
