Conquest of `Akka
It
was in 699 A.H. that Sultan Az-Zahir Baibars besieged the `Akka
fortress. When he took the helm of the city, he granted its
inhabitants full security. He entered the city on the day of `Eid
Al-Fitr and was given its keys. Due to the strategic location of
`Akka, which is a valley between two mountains, Muslims find it
difficult to invade.
