Khatt Eastern Tower, Limestone, Early 20th Century - Locally known as Burj Al Madina. Situated to the east of Khatt fort, this tower rises from the grounds of a castle-like hotel in Ras Al-Khaimah's emirate. The four-storey tower boasts a round plan and is constructed with limestone layered into mortar. Commissioned in 1901 by Sheikh Saqr bin Khalid Al Qasimi (1883–1914) of Sharjah's emirate, the tower stands strong today.
