Visitors to the birthplace of HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan can explore the history of the Emirate's ruling family, the story of the historic fort, and archeological life in Al Ain.
For more than 100 years, the historic Qasr Al Muwaiji fort safeguarded the oases of Al Ain and played an integral role in society, acting as a Diwan (a council of seat of governance) and as a place for the community to congregate. In 2015, the birthplace of HH Sheikh bin Zayed al Nahyan (b. 1948), President of the UAE, reopened its doors to the community once again following an impressive restoration project undertaken by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi.
