Qasr Al Hosn Entry Ticket

Abu DhabiLandmarks

Qasr Al Hosn Entry Ticket is a landmark attraction listed under Abu Dhabi activities at RAAHHI TOURS. Qasr Al Hosn in central Abu Dhabi began as a watchtower, raised in 1795 to guard the town's water source. Over time it became home to the ruling Al Nahyan family and then housed the government, and it now operates as a museum. Visitors explore two main parts: the Inner Fort and the 1940s Outer Palace. Artefacts, maps and interactive screens there tell the story of the Bani Yas tribe and of Abu Dhabi's shift from pearling and fishing to a modern city. The coral and sea-stone watchtower is the complex's earliest structure. The site also includes the House of Artisans, the Cultural Foundation and Bait Al Gahwa, a space devoted to Arabic coffee. The official site says these areas and the grounds are free, while the fort itself needs a paid ticket.
