History buffs will love learning about the origins of the fort and the battles that took place in the area.

Al Jazeera Al Hamra, meaning Red Island, is the last remaining historical pearling village in the Gulf. Go back in time as you explore the ruins of what was once a thriving maritime trading outpost. Up until the beginning of the 20th century, the local Zaab tribe maintained a fleet of 25 pearling boats which contributed to the wealth of the village. Ruins of the fort, watchtower, mosque, souq and many courtyard houses with intricate details remain to this day.
