British Watchtower (HaAvoda Street) This tower is one of five towers, standing in the city as a testament to the British Air Force Maintenance Base, which operated here in the 1940s. The tower stood on the railroad route that led to the camp, as a section of the Ras Al-Ain railway station.
There was another entrance in the area, which was mainly used through access to technical facilities, garages and logistics headquarters.
The tower overlooked the main road (nowadays, Route 444), the train station and the nearby civilian facilities.
The tower is built of silicate brick and has a square shape. His ascent was through a ladder. The second and third floors were flat-screened balconies, facing the camp.
At the top of the tower was a semi-open guard post, with a tin roof on the side and the ability to view the entire space.
