Al Ain Palace Museum

The Al Ain Palace Museum is the former residence of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan and his family, who went on to become the first ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The interior of some of the palace compound has been finely restored to reflect what the palace would have looked like when the Sheikh called it home.

Unfortunately, information throughout the rooms is sparse for those who don't speak Arabic. Nevertheless, the interior decoration really does give you a good idea of the style of life that was led here, and it provides an opportunity to view Emirati traditional architecture.

Address: Sultan bin Zayed I Street, Al Ain
