A very nice fort!

Falaj Al Mualla Fort lies in the town of the same name, in the emirate of Umm Al Quwain. The town is an oasis town and its name translate as “water channel (falaj) of (al) Mualla”. The Falaj Al Mualla Fort was built in the first part of the 19th century by Sheikh Abdullah I bin Rashid Al Mu'alla, who reigned from 1816 till 1853. It served to protect the oasis, together with 3 watch towers. The fort was restored in 2009 and now it’s a small museum. The fort has a square ground plan with 2 round towers on opposite corners and 2 rectangular towers on the other 2 corners. Falaj Al Mualla Fort can be visited for a fee of 5 AED. Nearby 2 of 3 watch towers. Third watch tower at present time nearly destroyed.

    A historical old fort -- worth a visit.
    Off the beaten path -- and somewhat similar to the other museums in restored old forts (e.g. Umm al Quwain city, Ajman, RAK) -- but well worth a visit. It is off the usual tourist path - but well worth a visit.

    Went there decades ago when place was falling down
    Now a magnificent 'restored' fort but was falling down in 80s and 90s with concrete blocks filling holes in walls. Now shows history of this over looked part of UAE.
