    Great place and well restored. Be prepared to be there for at least 1.5hrs if you are interested in the history and a little walk about.

    The staff working there are helpful too. It was a good experience, I enjoyed myself.

    I really enjoyed my visit to Al Jahili Fort. The staff are super friendly and the Fort interesting to explore. The best part for me was the Mubarak Bin London exhibition. Wilfred Thesiger was an amazing and inspiring explorer and this exhibition has amazing stories, photos and information about him and his companions. Highly recommended.

    Just like any other Fort, this also had a fascinating history. To reach the Fort you will have to walk through a park
    The photo galleries inside the Fort will take you to a different era, most of this Fort has been restored but pretty much all the rooms are locked up.
    The timings were odd 3PM to 6PM only. We went in the morning and had to return and had to make a second trip.

    Excellent place to visit. UAE and their culture is visible here. Big compound and neat design. Visit in evening time and enjoy the place with lots of amazing architecture designs are there. Arabs are great designers based on their geographical locations.

    A place of history that present the previous life of the ancient royal family of the UAE and it is a good experience to understand the basics of the area architectural school, and take ablooke of traditional Emirati life.

    Historical fortress in the Al Ain oase, Emirates heritage site. Worth visiting together with Sheikh Zayed house to see life before big oil found.

    I sow it at night and it looks amazing from out side. Not sure how old it is. But it looks in outstanding shape.

    An impressive example of Arab fortified castle, both in terms of its size and number of elaborate towers, but also purely aesthetically pleasing on the eye. A must see object when in Al Ain.

    Great place. As forts and historic sites come in this region this one is one of the best. The fort is absolutely beautiful with a very well served team and staff that welcome you and inform you on the whole site. There are usually exhibition on display that are very arty and informative. We were there late afternoon, but I think if you attend in the evening with all the spot lights enhancing the whole mysterious Arabic feeling it will be jaw dropping beautiful. We did feel some additional info on the fort would give it 5 stars, all the rooms were empty with no descriptions, perhaps this is something they plan on doing in the future. If they could spend the same time and effort on this fort as the one in Abu Dhabi it would be awesome.

    A historic landmark worth visiting. Mubarak bin London story is told here even his camera is here. You will be welcomed with Arabic coffee and dates. In the walls you will find a story telling you all about history starting from tribes times up till modern time.
