Know More About Arad Fort of Bahrain:
Arad Fort was built in the typical style of Islamic forts during the 15th century before the Portuguese invasion of Bahrain in AD 1622. This fort has a beautiful history. A few feuds between the Islamic divisions of Bahrain have taken place here. This fort is one of the compact defensive forts in Bahrain. In its present location, it overlooks various sea passages of Muharraq's shallow seashores. In the past, there was an inaccessible marine channel that was controlled by the local people to prevent ships from breaking through to the island where the fort is located. The fort is square and on every corner, there is a cylindrical tower.
It is surrounded by a small trench that used to be filled with water from wells that were drilled especially for this purpose. In every corner of the upper wall of the fort, there are nose-shaped openings for marksmen.
It is believed that the fort was built and used by the Omanis during their brief occupation of Bahrain in 1800, and it is located adjacent to the strategic waterways between Bahrain Island and Muharraq Island The canon found on top of the Fort's South Bastion pointed directly down the narrow entrance channel, formed by reefs on either side of it, that leads into Muharram Bay.
