Tours
A great way to experience the historical structure and witness the latest conservation work is to join the Qasr Al Hosn Fort and National Consultative Council Experience or simply explore the Cultural Foundation Building.
Qasr Al Hosn Fort and National Consultative Council Experience
The remarkable story of Abu Dhabi and its most significant building, Qasr Al Hosn, is brought to life on its very walls. This unprecedented and unforgettable night-time tour traces the evolution of this remarkable building.
Beginning the tour in the National Consultative Council, visitors can chart the origins and growth of Abu Dhabi as reflected in Qasr Al Hosn: a place of dialogue, of diplomacy, or rule and of memory.
Tours starts at 7.00pm
