[UAE] Heritage Sites

Hi Slowly Team,
Both the location-based stamps are tourist attractions in Dubai, which were both built fairly recently. The UAE has a rich cultural heritage, so it would be nice to see some stamps that also represents this heritage.
This is a short-list of cultural property of national significance in the UAE.
- Al Jahili fort (previously suggested by @fleurmaha https://feedback.slowly.app/stamp-requests/p/uae-al-jahili-fort)
- Qasr Al Muwaiji / Muwaiji fort in Al Ain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasr_Al_Muwaiji) - the birthplace of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the previous president of the UAE
- Al-Bidya Mosque in Fujairah (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Bidya_Mosque) - oldest known mosque in the UAE and is still in use
- Jebel Hafeet Tombs in Al Ain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jebel_Hafeet) - Bronze Age tombs found at the foothills of the tallest mountain in the UAE
