Perched on a hill in Fujairah, Fujairah Fort stands as the oldest and one of the largest forts in the United Arab Emirates. Constructed in 1670, it has served as a critical defensive structure for the region. The fort’s history includes occupation by Wahabbists in the early 1800s and partial destruction by the British in 1925. Today, after extensive restoration, visitors can explore its robust architecture and gain insight into the historical significance of this strategic stronghold.
