Al Hisn Fort

Al Hisn Fort lies in the center of the town of Dibba Al Hisn, in the emirate of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.

Al Hisn Fort was built by the Portuguese during their occupation of the area between 1624 and 1648. Like Kalba Fort, Al Hisn Fort consists of a fortification on a small rectangular platform. The present rectangular tower was built in the early 20th century by Sheikh Saqr bin Moḥammad Al Qasimi. It replaced an earlier circular tower.

At present Al Hisn Fort can not be visited as it and its immediate surroundings are being renovated. A nice fort.
