Umm al-Qaiwain, the least populous Emirate

The fort tower

The walls and a tower of the fort which was once home to the emirate's ruler and guarded the entrance to the old town, overseeing the sea on one side and the creek on the other. It was built in 1768 and was used as seat of government until 1969.
