History
Qasr Al Hosn is the oldest standing structure in Abu Dhabi, originating in the late eighteenth century as a watchtower built to guard vital freshwater sources. Over time, it expanded into a fort and later became the residence of the ruling family and the seat of government.
As Abu Dhabi modernized, Qasr Al Hosn was preserved as a national monument, representing the foundation of the emirate’s political and cultural identity. Its restoration transformed it into a museum and cultural space dedicated to Emirati heritage.
La Perle represents the modern creative spirit of the UAE. Launched as the region’s first permanent aqua theater show, it reflects Abu Dhabi’s investment in global arts, innovation, and immersive entertainment. Together, these two landmarks trace Abu Dhabi’s journey from fortified settlement to global cultural destination.
