Ajman Fort, 18th century fort in Ajman, United Arab Emirates
The fort consists of a double-story structure built from coral stones, rocks, and mudbrick with thick defensive walls and square watchtowers.
The fort became the center of power in 1816 when Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi established control over Ajman after a strategic takeover.
The building transformed into Ajman Museum in 1981, presenting exhibits of traditional weapons, archaeological finds, and regional artifacts from the emirate.
The fort opens daily with regular guided tours available in multiple languages, allowing visitors to explore the various sections of the historical complex.
The fort features a wind tower structure known as barjeel, which represents the earliest example of this architectural element in the United Arab Emirates.
