Khor Kalba

Khor Kalba is a fascinating historical monument in the United Arab Emirates, combining rich history with natural beauty.

Built in 1745, with later additions in 1820, Kalba Fort stands on the site of the original fortification captured by the Portuguese in 1624. Its unique design betrays Portuguese architectural influences.

In addition to the fort, the area is famous for its mangrove wetlands and artificial lagoon, part of a nature reserve project to regenerate the local ecosystem. It is an ideal place for history buffs and nature enthusiasts alike.
