Al Hosn, located in downtown Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates, is the original historic urban block of the city, a witness to the evolution of the city from a traditional pearling settlement to a modern global metropolis.

Also, grab the chance to see the traditional crafts of the United Arab Emirates on display in House of Artisan.
