Mezyad Fort, Military fort near Jebel Hafeet, United Arab Emirates.

Mezyad Fort is a rectangular fort at the foot of Jebel Hafeet, covering about 3,600 square metres. Cylindrical watchtowers stand at its northeast, northwest and southeast corners, while the southwest corner holds two-storey rooms. The main entrance is on the north side beside the northeast tower, and more than 40 rooms built against the inner walls surround a courtyard with a palm grove.

Mezyad Fort is thought to have been built in the 19th century, during the reign of Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, because it resembles the Jahili fort of that period. The Arabic source attributes its construction to the Mazyad, of the Nawasir of Al-Ain. Its large area and storerooms supported troops and sheltered families during sieges.

The fort represents traditional regional defensive architecture and reflects the building methods once used across the Arabian Peninsula. Visitors can observe the characteristic structures that reveal how people once organized their defenses and daily life in this area.

The fort stands west of the Mezyad area at the foot of Jebel Hafeet, near Al-Mubazzarah Al-Khadra. Visitors reach it from Street 137, which branches off Zayed Bin Sultan Street. The rectangular enclosure, about 3,600 square metres, is entered from the north side beside the north-eastern tower.

Mezyad Fort has two wells: one inside the walls served the people living in the fort, while the second, called Tawi al-Hosn, stood outside and was used by trade caravans passing through the area. The fort's large area and storerooms also supported the army and sheltered families during sieges.
