Al Boma Fort

Al Boma Fort, also known as Masfout Castle or Al Boma Tower, is a captivating 19th-century fortress perched in the mountainous Masfout area of Ajman, showcasing traditional Emirati architecture. The white watchtower sits atop a hill opposite a museum housed within one of the emirate's oldest surviving structures—a fortified tower house that once served as both a defensive post and administrative seat. The site features ruins of historic houses and structures from centuries past, carefully restored to tell the story of the mountain communities that lived inland, farming and herding through seasons unknown to coastal settlements. Al Boma Tower offers an excellent panoramic viewpoint with exceptional views over Masfout and Hatta, making it particularly popular at sunset for its sweeping vistas.
