Fujairah Fort

Fujairah Fort at sunset: an old restored sandstone fort with three round corner towers and one square tower rising above thick crenellated curtain walls in warm tan and ochre stone, perched on a rocky hill above date palm groves with the rugged eastern Hajar Mountains rising in the deep background
Fujairah Fort is the oldest fort in the UAE, built around 1670 from local stone and mud-brick on a rocky outcrop above the old town. Partially destroyed by the Royal Navy in 1925, restored 1997-2000, and paired with an open-air Heritage Village recreating traditional Emirati life.
