Kids Go FREE at Qasr Al Hosn

Step into the heart of Abu Dhabi's history at Qasr Al Hosn, a museum telling the story of the city and its people. At its core stands Abu Dhabi's first permanent structure, a coral and sea stone watchtower built in the 1760s to protect the early settlement on the island. Over the centuries, it has served as home to the ruling family, the seat of government, a consultative council, and a national archive. Today, it stands as the nation's living memorial, narrating Abu Dhabi's history through objects, artifacts, and archival material.
