Al Jahili Fort

Al Jahili Fort, located in Al Ain, stands as one of the largest forts in the United Arab Emirates. Built by Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan in the late 19th century, it originally served as a summer residence and a strategic point for controlling the area’s resources. The fort, constructed from mud-brick, has been thoroughly renovated to preserve its historical significance. Today, visitors can explore the cultural attraction, which features both permanent and temporary exhibitions that offer insights into the region’s rich history.
