 In16th century, and the period in which the Portuguese dominated parts of the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Gulf. Another study, which made use of carbon dating, puts it around 1800. And then there is a letter from Seyyid Turki bin Said of Oman who wrote to the British Political Agent in Muscat in 1879 stating that the fort had been built by his ancestor, Imam Sultan bin Ahmed (1792-1804), and given to the local population. What is know for certain is that it was built prior to 1808, as it was, together with other forts on the East Coast, occupied for roughly two years by the Wahhabis.

What remains is a majestic fort that was abandoned after a 1925 British Naval attack destroyed the seaward faces of three of its towers. Left to crumble away under the relentless desert sun for the better part of a century, a renovation programme, initiated in 1997, brought it back to life and restored it to its former irregular beauty. Built to fit the natural outcrop it perches on, it resembles the forts of Oman more than the ones on the West Coast of the UAE.
