Built with locally available materials such as sand, gypsum and others to protect freshwater wells.
Builders used locally available materials: coral stone, sand, gypsum, branches, palm fibers and shells, and beams made from mangrove wood. In times of tribal warfare, they were mainly used to protect freshwater wells. In Abu Dhabi, you can visit the Maqta Bridge tower and the Qasr El Hosn fort-museum. In the city of Al Aïn, you'll discover Fort Jahili, for example, or the Liwa oasis. Explore those of the Bani Yas tribe, including Fort Dhafeer, Maria Al Gharbiyah and Muzeira.
