Description:
From every angle, modern day Abu Dhabi is a rapidly developing city, with a skyline which is ever changing. But if you’ve ever wondered what the UAE’s capital city was like before all the glass skyscrapers and sculpted topiary, then Downtown Abu Dhabi is the place to go. The Qasr Al Hosn fort marks the traditional heart of the nation's capital, where from 1760 it was the economic hub of the area. While today it is dwarfed by towers, it still offers a view of what life was like in days gone by.
