Mezyad (Arabic: مَزْيَد, romanized: Mazyad)[1][2] is a settlement in the Eastern Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, to the south of the main part of Al Ain City, on the border of the U.A.E.
[3] It is known for having a historical fort,[4][5] and is part of a desert park, which also includes a necropolis and Mount Hafeet nearby.
Given that it is similar in appearance to the Jahili fort of the 19th century, it is thought to have been constructed at around the same time, during the reign of Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa Al Nahyan.
[4][5] Mezyad lies on a route from the main part of Al-Ain to Oman, leading to Dhank, Ibri and Nizwa, and going through the Western Hajar Mountains.
[5] Named "Zayed Bin Sultan Street", it goes past Al-Ain's traditional camel market, near Bawadi Mall[2] and an IKEA store.
