Ras al Khaimah’s rich archeological legacy is distinguished by some unique features and historical attractiveness such as old forts and watch towers scattered along its coasts line. One of these important forts is Dhayah Fort located north of the Al Rams Town. Dhayah has always been a very fertile area and has been settled at least since the third millennium BC. Records show that the Fort, appears to have been built during the 19th Century on the foundations of much older structures. It is the only hilltop fort still in existence in the UAE. Upon climbing to the top, visitors are rewarded with a fantastic view of the lush palm gardens below, the Arabian Gulf to one side and the dramatic Hajjar Mountains to the other. |
