Located 17 km from Fujairah in the Al Bithnah village, the Bithnah Fort is one of the oldest forts in the UAE. It is one of the most significant UAE tourist places as it stands as a testimony to Fujairah’s long history of wars that took place between the 18th and 19th centuries.
Apart from its historical importance, the Bithnah Fort is unique in its architecture which is constructed of golden stone, mud, brick, palm wood planks and adobe. The fort offers spectacular views of the countryside bordered by the Hajar Mountains.
