|
Fujairah Fort, built in 1670, was badly damaged by a British attack in the early 20th C. Considered the oldest fort in the UAE, it has served as a defensive building and a home for the ruling family.
The Fujairah Fort is a mud brick structure with three major sections, several halls, one square tower and two round towers. The fort has been renovated and restored to its former glory. For many centuries it was the only stone building along the Fujairah coast.
Located on a hill at the edge of date gardens, the Fujairah Fort is surrounded by the remains of some old town houses.
