Fujairah Fort is located on a high hill in the old area of Fujairah, which is about 3 km from the seashore while you can reach it from the city center within 12 minutes by car.
Fujairah Castle dates back to 1500-1550 AD, and is characterized by its beautiful engineering beauty, as it was built from local materials such as clay and stone in addition to gravel.
The castle consists of three towers with a circular shape, while the fourth has a slightly rectangular shape somewhat, and it has two floors where there is a large entrance, room, hall and stairway in the first floor that contains a council hall and some balconies, and thus is an important milestone in Fujairah’s tourism.
