About Fujairah Fort below the Hajar Mountains

Fujairah is the only one of the seven emirates that lies wholly on the Gulf of Oman, on the eastern side of the Hajar Mountains. Its fort, built of stone and mud on a low rise among old houses and palm groves, is one of the oldest forts in the country; parts of it are thought to date from the sixteenth century. It guarded the town and the routes through the mountains for centuries and was carefully restored around the year 2000. Next to it lies a heritage village with old houses and a falaj. This photo shows the fort's towers with the mountains behind.

Puzzle tip: start with the fort's towers and walls, then fill the mountains behind and the paved ground in front.
