The Red Fort was built during Sheikh Humaid bin Abdul Aziz Al Nuaimi (1910–1928), and consists of four rooms in two towers. The fort was restored in 1986 and a third tower was added to the two older towers. Gravel and red plaster were used in the construction of the walls of the fort and hence it was named the Red Fort. Sandalwood was used in the beams and supports for the construction of the roofs.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.ajmantourism.ae/en/Disc/Pages/The-Red-Fort.aspx|title = The Red Fort|access-date = 30 November 2014|website = Ajman Tourism|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141206043829/http://www.ajmantourism.ae/en/Disc/Pages/The-Red-Fort.aspx|archive-date = 6 December 2014|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref name=":25" /><ref name=":26" /><ref name=":27" />
