The fort was established in 1891 around Al-Jahili Oasis for the protection of palm farmers.[1] Later it was seized by the former Omani coastal scout for its operation to protect the mountain lanes and to preserve the inter-tribal peace.[2] The fort was mentioned and recorded by several historical figures. Percy Cox, in his tour to Al Ain in 1905, reportedly visited the Al Jahili region. In 1906, J. G. Lorimer mentioned that the fort was constructed under the rule of Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.[3] LocationThe fort is located on the southern part of the city of Al Ain close to Al Ain Castle Museum. It is on the strategic location where exist water sources and agricultural land.[1] ArchitectureSimilar in appearance to Mezyad Fort,[4] Jahili Fort is one of the largest castles in the city.[1] It is a part of the bigger complex for public activity which includes public square. The fort is square shaped and has a length of {{convert|35|m|ft|abbr=off}} and height of {{convert|8|m|ft|abbr=off}}. There are embrasures and triangular balconies on the top. It has three round watchtowers, and a rectangular watchtower on the northwestern corner. Round watchtowers have a diameter of {{convert|5|m|ft|abbr=off}}, and a height of {{convert|14|m|ft|abbr=off}}. The rectangular watchtowers has width and length of {{convert|4|and|7|m|ft|abbr=off}} respectively, and height of {{convert|14|m|ft|abbr=off}}. The rectangular tower is considered stronger in terms of defensive capacity.[3] RestorationThe fort was restored by the Department of Antiquity and Museum in Al Ain during the mid-1980s. It was later restored again by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture & Heritage in 2007–2008, during which several infrastructures were put in place, including the visitors' office, gift shops, cafe and wider public square for exhibitions and cultural activities. The fort is planned to be rehabilitated in the future for bigger roles in the tourism and social activity in Al Ain region.[5] See also
