Fujairah Fort was built in the era of  Sheikh Mohammed Bin Matar Al Sharqi from local materials involving stone, gravel, clay, hay and alsarooj (gypsum) substance. A chemical analysis study was conducted by radioactive carbon-14, which proved that the Fort was built during the period from 1500 to 1550 AD and rebuilt during the period from 1650 to 1700 AD.
The first renovation of the castle was in 1925 and then in the mid-sixties due to the collapse of the north tower and square and in the period from 1998 to 2000 the Department of Antiquities and Heritage has made an overall renovation to the fort and its towers and used the same materials in renovation that the fort was built from (mud, gravel, gypsum and wood)
