Kalba Fort, Military fortification in Kalba, United Arab Emirates.
The fort spans 1,435 square meters and features a two-story tower constructed from mudbrick, gypsum, and stone materials.
Established in 1745 on the site of an earlier Portuguese fortification, the structure underwent significant additions in 1820 to enhance defensive capabilities.
The fort represents traditional Arabian military architecture with thick stone walls, minimal window openings, and strategic design elements for coastal defense.
Following restoration work completed in 2021, the fort operates as a museum with exhibition areas displaying military artifacts and historical information.
Located near Bait Sheikh Saeed bin Hamad Al Qasimi, the fort forms part of a historical complex that includes a traditional house from 1898.
