Fujairah fort is one of the architectural gems which is easily accessible from most of the central locations in the emirate. Being located atop a hill, the fort offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Built in 1670, Fujairah Fort holds a glorious history of surviving the Wahhabist invasion and bombardment by the British Royal Navy to its credit.
It also served as a military base, a royal palace, a prison and execution chamber. At present the property is used as a wedding venue for the high-profile marriage ceremonies.
