Premises
Where the office actually goes.
Fujairah DED licenses into Fujairah, and the commercial stock there is small enough that the emirate and the district are effectively the same conversation — what varies is which industrial belt or waterfront you end up on, not which postcode.
The east coast port city, on the Gulf of Oman rather than the Arabian Gulf, with the bunkering and oil storage economy that geography created. What Fujairah DED itself offers by way of premises: Physical premises with tenancy.

Questions
For serving the local market, the port workforce and east-coast tourism, yes. Distribution to the western emirates is constrained by the mountains.
The port — bunkering, oil storage and shipping — plus a small but real tourism sector on the east coast beaches.
By road through the Hajar mountains. It is a drive, not a hop, which matters for distribution.
