'''Musa ibn Nusayr Fort''', also referred to as '''AlUla Fort''', was a fort and prison located in central [[Al-Ula]], north of the [[Masjid Al'Itham]] mosque. In the 860s, it was controlled by [['Abis]], the apparent leader of the [[Robbers of Al-Ula|robbers]] active in the valley.

==History==
Named after the Arab general and governor of the same name, Musa ibn Nusayr Fort occupied the top of an outcrop about fifty meters high, a position that offered a view of the town below, as well as the valley surrounding it, allowing for better observation and defense of both.<ref name= "DB Nusayr Fort">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: The Overlook Fortress]]</ref>

In the 860s, [[Basim ibn Ishaq]] traveled to Al-Ula in search of his father, [[Ishaq ibn Khalid]], and learned of the threat posed by the robbers in the region. While following one of them out of the [[AlUla Market|market]], he [[Pickpocketing|pickpocketed]] a note that detailed hidden spots where the thieves kept their weapons, with even one such cache being inside the fort. Continuing his tailing of the robber led Basim to an ambush in an alley and he was taken to the fort while unconscious.<ref name= "Wares and Shadows">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Wares and Shadows]]</ref>

The atmosphere at the prison was oppresive, both for the prisoners, who were used by 'Abis as test subjects for the poisons he concocted in his laboratory within the complex, and for those who worked there, who were subject to ruthless captains. During his stay there, Basim spoke with the prisoner in the neighboring cell, learning about the prison as well as [[The Blue House|where]] his father lived, though he was unable to help the man before 'Abis experiments killed him.<ref name= "The Heart of Corruption">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[The Heart of Corruption]]</ref>

With the aid of [[Enkidu]] and the prison's [[Hind's servant|cook]], Basim managed to escape his cell and make his way to 'Abis' laboratory, freeing other captives during the breakout. Basim fatally stabbed 'Abis, but was hit with a poisoned blade before the man passed. Suffering from the effects of the poison, Basim fled the fort, attempting to reach [[Dervis]].<ref name= "The Heart of Corruption"/>

While Basim healed, Dervis infiltrated the complex, retrieving Basim's items that had been confiscated, as well as the [['Abis Dagger|poisoned dagger]] that had injured him.<ref name= "The Heart of Corruption"/>

==Behind the scenes==
At the time of the release of the Valley of Memory update (1.1.0) in 18 November 2025, this landmark was named "Musa ibn Nusayr Fort" and was renamed into "AlUla Fort" in update 1.1.1, released a month later. However, its original name is kept both during the memory "[[Wares and Shadows]]" and in the respective [[database]] [[Database: The Overlook Fortress|entry]].

	The prison's atmosphere was oppressive, both for the prisoners, whom 'Abis used as live test subjects for his poisonous concoctions, and for the robbers working there who suffered under ruthless captains.

Basim fatally stabbed 'Abis with his own redirected knife strike, but was surprised when 'Abis produced a spare [['Abis Dagger\|poisoned blade]] and stabbed him in the chest before dying. Immediately suffering toxic effects, Basim fled the fort and attempted to reach his peddler friend [[Dervis]] back at their tent in the [[Travelers' Camp]]. He collapsed along the way but Darvis was alerted to the situation and rescued him.
