Najd Al Miqsar is an abandoned settlement West of Khor Fakkan in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE), now a heritage village and popular tourist spot.

A traditional village at the head of the Wadi Shie, which is dammed by the Al Rafisah Dam, Najd Al Miqsar was restored as a heritage village following the construction of the Sharjah-Khor Fakkan highway and the dam and associated rest area^[1] that were developed as part of the Dhs5.5 billion highway project.^[2] The fort at Najd Al Miqsar formed part of a connected series of fortifications protecting Khor Fakkan, which included the Al Rabi Tower and the Al Adwani Tower.^[3]
