Built around 1830, this well-preserved fort is tucked deep into the jagged Hajar Mountains near the village of Al Hayl, about 13km southwest of Fujairah. There’s usually a caretaker to show you around (tip appreciated). To get there (usually possible without 4WD), turn south off Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Hwy near the new Fujairah City Centre mall and follow signs. Best when the sun is low.
