Al-Muazzam Fort in the Tabuk area epitomises Islamic architecture's attention to detail and reveals the late Islamic periods' interest in accommodating travellers travelling the Levant route.
In 1031 A.H. (1622 A.D.), the fort was built as a resting place for travellers and Umrah workers. Additionally, it functioned as the administrative centre for military camps that guarded the route between Makkah and Madinah.
Its walls, which were constructed in a rectangle form and cover a total area of 10,000 square meters, contain recollections from more than four centuries. A sizable yard in the centre of the fort is encircled by rooms, stairs, and higher passageways.
The fort, which has two levels and a protective wall as high as the interior passageway, was constructed from refined stones. Except for tiny openings that were once used to protect the fort, none of its four faces have windows.
It contains the Hijaz train stop and the Al-Muazzam reservoir. The fort was built from reddish-yellow carved stone and has four markings on its base.
The distinctively wide entryway of Al-Muazzam Fort features an arch and protective openings.
