Qasr Boskie rozkosze
Khalifa Bin Zayed The First Street, Abu Dhabi
There is an old saying that 'walls have ears'. Imagine what stories the walls of Qasr Al Muwaiji would tell, if they could, from more than 100 years ago. Add this historical stop to your itinerary for a deeper insight into the UAE's intriguing past. Situated in Al Ain, a lush garden city just an hour and a half away from Abu Dhabi, you will be amazed as you enter this simple yet striking structure at how the country has evolved from its humble beginnings.
During his impressive tenure, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan made many beautiful additions to the fort as it became an even more important place for government discussions, greeting visitors and decision-making. From adding new diwan (a council or seat of governance) buildings and kitchens to expanding the guest accommodations, he even increased the space of the fort's mosque. Why? Because Qasr Al Muwaiji's significance was growing in the community as a place to gather, pray and celebrate. His efforts to take care of the fort led it to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.
