Al-Murabba Fort, Heritage fortress in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates
The fort presents a square layout with thick mud-brick walls, defensive watchtowers, and traditional wooden gates adorned with geometric patterns.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ordered the construction of Al-Murabba Fort in 1948 to serve as an administrative center for the Al Ain region.
The fort compound includes meeting halls where local residents gathered for traditional ceremonies, weddings, and religious celebrations throughout its history.
Visitors can access the fort daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with guided tours available to explore the three-story structure and its exhibitions.
The fort integrates with the historic falaj irrigation system, which runs through underground channels across the eastern, western, and northern sections.
