Hassa Buweid Castle

Built by the late Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi as a fortress, Hassa Buweid Castle is a tower-shaped fort sat on a hilltop overlooking the plains of Manam and is reached by a stone stairway. Although the castle was only built in 1976, its architecture is similar to other castles found in across the country. It is named Hassa Buweid (meaning ‘white stones’) after the hill that forms its base.
