Places To Visit In UAE: Qasr Al Hosn
Take a trip through a piece of history and visit Qasr Al Hosn which stood as the home of the ruling family, acted as the seat of the government, housed the National Consultative Council founded by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, as well as being a national archive. Today it stands as the nation’s real life memorial and a narrator of the capital’s history.Â
As the only standing structure in Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Hosn is home to the UAE’s original watchtower. Built around the 1790s, this commanding structure overlooked the coastal trade routes and protected the growing settlements established on the island. Transformed into a museum in 2018 following intensive conservation and restoration work, Qasr Al Hosn is a national monument that encapsulates the development of Abu Dhabi from a settlement reliant on fishing and pearling in the 18th century, to a modern, global metropolis, displaying artefacts and archival materials dating back to as far as 6000BC. As the structure is located in the outskirts of the capital of the UAE Abu Dhabi, Beno provides all Dubai residents and tourists the opportunity to visit the mosque at the ease of renting your own car through our car rental platform!
