Al Falayah Fort is a beautifully restored 18th-century fortification located at the foot of the Hajjar Mountains. Originally built as a summer retreat for the ruling Al Qasimi family, it features four corner towers, a central courtyard, and traditional wind towers. Visitors can walk through the rooms furnished with period pieces, climb the towers for panoramic views, and explore the surrounding date palm groves. The fort provides insight into the lifestyle of the ruling family and the region's history.
