Sakamkam Fort, Military fort in Sakamkam, Fujairah, United Arab Emirates.

The fort stands on elevated terrain with a round watchtower and two western enclosures, connected by buildings that form its distinctive structure.

Constructed in the 19th century as a defensive outpost linked to Fujairah Fort, the structure served as a strategic point monitoring regional activities.

Archaeological investigations near the fort revealed 126 burials from the Wadi Suq period, showcasing ancient regional funeral practices and settlements.

Located north of the Yabsa Bypass Road E184, the fort offers free entry to visitors through unpaved roads leading to its entrance.

At 131 meters above sea level, the fort contains elements that reflect military architecture from different periods of Emirati defensive construction.
