This traditional mud-brick fort has been restored to its former glory and offers a good chance to appreciate Emirati fortification architecture.It was built during the early years of the 20th century and was home to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan and his family between the years of 1946 and 1966, before he became ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Inside, as well as admiring the building itself, you can visit a small museum dedicated to the history of the fort and the lives of the ruling Al Nahyan family.Just outside the fort is a courtyard with a modern recreation of the Emirati falaj (irrigation canal) system.
