Hatta Fort, Military fort in Hatta village, United Arab Emirates

The fort features stone and mud walls, traditional watchtowers, and interior chambers that demonstrate historical Emirati architectural methods and defense strategies.

Built in 1896, the fort served as a defensive structure and residence for the ruling family after the territory transferred from Omani control to Dubai around 1850.

The fort maintains exhibits displaying traditional weapons, pottery, household items, and documents that represent the daily life of past Emirati generations.

Visitors can access the fort daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the central information desk.

The fort contains an integrated water management system that collected and distributed rainwater through underground channels to sustain its inhabitants during dry periods.
