History of Al Ali Fort and the Museum
Al Ali Fort was built in 1768 by Sheikh Rashid bin Majid Al Mualla to protect Umm Al Quwain from attack. For about two centuries it was the residence of the ruling Al Mualla family and the centre of government in the emirate, until 1969. Later it was also used as a police station.
The fort was carefully restored and opened as the Umm Al Quwain Museum in 2000. Its thick walls are built from coral stone and gypsum, materials commonly found along the Arabian Gulf coastline. Walking through the courtyard today, you can picture how the local community lived and defended their home during the pearl diving era.

ఆర్కిటెక్చరల్ ప్రాముఖ్యత
The fort is a fine example of traditional Gulf defensive architecture. Its tall watchtowers once allowed guards to watch the sea for approaching ships. Inside, a series of connected rooms surrounds a central courtyard, which kept air moving and the rooms cool long before modern air conditioning.
