Fujairah Fort, built in the 1500s, is one of the oldest and largest forts in the UAE, perched on a rocky hill overlooking the city and the Hajar Mountains. This historic structure, made from local stone and mud bricks, has been carefully restored and now houses a small museum detailing the region's history and traditional life. Visitors can climb the towers for sweeping views, explore the courtyard and rooms, and learn about the fort's role in defending the area against invaders. It's a must-visit for history buffs and photographers alike.
