Comprising a restored, twin-towered upper fort and a crumbled fortification beneath, Dhayah Fort will appeal to history and outdoor enthusiasts keen to enjoy its ruins and sweeping views over the surrounding palm oasis and Hajar peaks. Visitors can climb to the fort to experience the panoramas and inspect the towers before roaming the lower fort and palm groves to find the remains of the fort’s original outer watchtowers.
Without a car, the easiest way to visit Dhayah Fort is on an organized tour from Ras Al Khaimah city. Most tours cover the fort alongside several other sights, allow you to wander around independently, and provide historical insight by way of a guide’s commentary.
