Derawar Fort, Cholistan, Ahmad pur Pakistan

Derawar Fort is an ancient fort located in Cholistan Desert in Pakistan.
The Fort was built by Deoraj, a prince of Jaisalmer.
It was in possession of royal family of Jaisalmer when it was captured by Abbasis in 1735. In 1747,
the Fort slipped from the hands of Abbasis in the reign of Nawab Bahawal Khan due to his pre-occupations at Shikarpur.
Nawab Mubarak Khan took the stronghold back in 1804.
