The Fujairah Fort restoration project began in 1997 and represents one of the UAE's most extensive conservation efforts. Led by engineers and archaeologists, the aim was to authentically restore the fort and surrounding structures using traditional materials and methods. The Fort which dates back to the 16th century is situated within a larger architectural ensemble that includes traditional homes, a mosque, a recreated village, and the residences of the Sharqiyin royal family. These places represent a vibrant center for cultural exchange and invite global visitors to explore and appreciate Fujairah's rich cultural heritage.
