Qasr Al Hosn

Abu Dhabi

Highlights

Picture a time when Abu Dhabi was simply a small pearl and fishing village before it became a modern city! Visiting Qasr Al Hosn in the heart of the city will take you back to that period. The site, dating back to the 18th century, is the oldest heritage spot in the region. Initially a defensive structure, it later became a palace for the ruling Nahyan family and then the seat of government. Even after over 230 years, this stunning sandstone building still stands as a tribute to the past. Step into this well-preserved national monument turned museum and explore the Inner Fort (built in 1795) and the Outer Palace (built in the 1940s). Admire the collection of ancient artifacts and art dating back to 6000 BC and learn about the Bani Yas tribe. Experience the historical and cultural scenes of the region through interactive screens. Don't miss the chance to see the complex's oldest structure - a watch tower made of coral and sea stones. Walk through restored rooms and halls to get a glimpse of ancient royal life. Visit the House of Artisans to witness local craftsmen showcasing their skills and the Cultural Foundation for artworks and cultural events.
