Another spot for tourist attraction in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah is the Dhayah Fort<\/strong>.  It is the highest hilltop fort in the UAE and was the last bastion of local resistance to the British forces in 1819<\/strong>. Thus, the Dhayah Fort played an important role in the history of Ras Al Khaimah as a defensive military tower.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Located about 20 kilometers north of the emirate, this 16th-century mud-brick fort was built in a strategic hilltop position facing the gulf to defend the region from attack by the British. Other ruined fortifications and watchtowers can also be seen to the south of the hill. The panoramic views from the fort’s ramparts are well worth the trip here<\/em>, and for anyone interested in history, exploring the fort itself is one of the top things to do here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
