Shagai Fort, British colonial fort in Shahgai, Pakistan.

The military fort stands at 847 meters above sea level, positioned 13 kilometers from Jamrud in the Khyber District of Pakistan.

British forces constructed the fort in 1927 to establish a strategic observation point for monitoring activities along the Khyber Pass.

The fort represents the military architecture of British colonial India and remains an important symbol of the region's strategic significance.

The fort currently serves as headquarters for the Khyber Rifles and hosts trilateral military meetings between Pakistan, Afghanistan, and NATO forces.

The cemetery near the fort contains graves of British soldiers who fell during the Second Afghan War between 1879 and 1880.
