A great place to glimpse the past is Al Jahili Fort in Al Ain, a mud fort built in the 1890s and converted into a museum in 2008. The walls are made of clay, straw and palm fibers and need to be restored every six months. Inside there are some exhibitions; the best shows Thesiger's impressive black and white photographs from the 1940s.
