Following more than eleven years of intensive conservation and restoration work, Qasr Al Hosn was opened by Mohammad Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and we were proud to be a part of this iconic and culturally symbolic rejuvenation project. 

Located in Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Hosn (also known as the “White Fort”) comprises of two major iconic buildings: the Inner Fort (originally constructed in 1795) and the Outer Palace (1939-45). Over the centuries, it has been home to the ruling family, the seat of government, a consultative council as well as a national archive; it now stands as the nation’s living memorial and the narrator of Abu Dhabi’s history.
