Shagai fort


Shagai Fort is a fort located 13 kilometres from Jamrud in Khyber Agency, Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It was built in 1927 by the British forces to oversee the Khyber Pass. Now it’s manned by Pakistani military and paramilitary troops. The fort also served as headquarters for the Khyber Rifles — the traditional guardians of the Khyber Pass. Usually, trilateral flag meetings among Pakistan, Nato and Afghan military officials are held in this fort.
