Fujeira (1964-72)
Stamp-issuing status: inactive. One of the sheikhdoms that comprised the Trucial States in southeast Arabia, in the Persian Gulf. Fujeira was under British protection from 1892 to 1971, when it became a member of the independent United Arab Emirates. From 1964 to 1972, Fujeira produced a huge number of gaudy topical stamps for sale to collectors.
