Tour Overview

Qasr Al Hosn is Abu Dhabi's oldest stone structure, originally built as a watchtower in the 1760s before growing into a fort and later the ruling family's palace. Today it stands restored as a heritage site and museum, telling the story of Abu Dhabi's transformation from a small pearling and fishing settlement into the modern capital. This guided visit includes access to the fort's inner courtyards and the adjacent Cultural Foundation exhibits.
