Its a hidden gem at abu dhabi, they have preserved their history for future generations. All the details are well explained with audio visuals. You will find less tourists so its peaceful and one can spend good time photo graphing the palace and studying history of UAE

Tourists maybe.. but expats in UAE should visit the place where it all began. This castle saw many things and changes and its feel is just different. The museum is located in the heart of downtown. There’s very nice parking, underground. You can visit the museums head to children’s library and check the exhibitions. The whole area screams culture. And how they build the whole area is honey for eyes. It’s great spot for those cool sci fi yet traditional photoshoots. Really beautiful and serene area in the middle of skyscrapers.

We visited the fort of Qasr Al Hosn and also the adjacent House of Artisans. Both were fascinating. The House of Artisans is so well presented, but maybe more could be done with the coffee making ceremony. The fort was equally interesting, with a history of the buildings and the UAE founding family. We learnt a lot here! We would certainly recommend a visit to Qasr Al Hosn if you’re in Abu Dhabi!
