Sharjah Trip: Al Hsin Fort

One of the Fort Museum we have visited during our trip to Sharjah 2 weeks ago.

This Fort built in 1820 and formely home to the ruling in Sharjah for about 200 years and also the headquaters of the government, this is a superb fort to stroll around to appreciate Sharjah's history throught traditional architecture and artefacts.

The fort has a terrace and three towers - Al Muhalwasa, Al Kabs and Murabaa Mishriff, which are joined by rooms and halls, surrounding a large central courtyard. Enter through the original fort doors into a world of local history and charm.

The fort played an important role in the development of the Emirate's social, commercial, political and military activities.
