The Egyptian Migdol Fortress is a very strong defensive building with a strong attack. At the Fortress you may build a variety of military units, including chariots, camel cavalry, and war elephants. You may also research a variety of military improvements here.

Although the ancient Egyptians were largely isolated by expansive deserts, they were still open to attack from the Middle East, the sea, and up the Nile Valley from the south. Where they were vulnerable they built large fortresses. The name Migdol comes from a fortress with attached towers found in northern Egypt near a town thought to have been named Migdol. Other fortresses incorporating similar towers are sometimes characterized as being in the Migdol style.
