Qasr Al Hosn, Abu Dhabi

Very interesting place. Shows the very essence of the UAE culture and traditions, and how they were derived and brought to where they are today. The Fort itself is breathtaking, as well as the entire area it encompasses. The restoration is exquisite. Great place to visit if you happen to be in Abu Dhabi, you will leave enlightened and impressed. I do have one suggestion though, the place needs more signs and clarification as to what it is exactly. As we have stumbled there through sole curiosity and adventure mindset. No pictures this time, sorry.

Qasr Al Hosn is the oldest and most significant building in Abu Dhabi, holding the city’s first permanent structure; the watchtower. Built around the 1790’s, the commanding structure overlooked the coastal trade routes and protected the growing settlement established on the island. Qasr Al Hosn was closed for renovation and repented for public on Friday, December 7 2018. Admission to House of Artisans, Cultural Foundation, and landscape is complimentary, excluding Qasr Al Hosn, special workshops and events.
