Sharjah Adds Coastal Fortifications to UNESCO List
The Sharjah Archaeology Authority has successfully listed the Southeast Arabian Peninsula's coastal fortification network, including the sites of Daba Al-Hisn, Khorfakkan, and Khatib, on UNESCO's tentative World Heritage List. This inclusion represents an important step toward enhancing the protection and documentation of historical sites that span over two thousand years, reflecting the region's role as a strategic maritime corridor in trade, navigation, and defense along the Arabian Sea, from the Neolithic period through the Qawasim era. The number of Emirati sites on the tentative list has now risen to 16, boosting the Emirate of Sharjah's position on the global cultural heritage map. It underlines the ongoing scientific and institutional efforts to preserve its historical sites for future generations.
