Alanka Fort

55 km from Al Ain. It is an old castle, consisting of a huge tower, or closer to the square, and it has a wall surrounding it and a huge door.

It is located in the middle of the flat plains and appears as a beacon for the valley and the winds, which reinforces the importance of its presence in this region, which is the gateway to Abu Dhabi from its northeastern side.

The Fort extending from east to west with a length of about 20 meters, and from north to south with a length of about 10 meters. It consists of two floors and a gated roof.

 The entrance is about 15 meters from the front facade of the castle in all directions. Although its width does not exceed about 3 meters, it seems harmonious in shape with the construction of the castle. Inside, a small recess or threshold is made before reaching the wooden door.

The basement floor is characterized by the absence of windows, but rather slots for air and light spreading on its facade.

On the first floor of the fort there is a rectangular lobby with two halls on either side, and in the corner of the northwest atrium a staircase leads to the second floor that leads to another inner atrium.
