Umm Al Quwain Museum is set within a historic fort that once served as the ruler's residence and a defensive stronghold. Visitors explore rooms filled with archaeological finds from nearby sites, including pottery and coins, as well as displays on pearl diving and date farming. The fort's watchtowers offer views over the old town, while the courtyard features a traditional barasti (palm-frond) house. It's a compact but rich introduction to the emirate's heritage.
