Qasr Al Muwaiji, Historical castle in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates
The square fortress measures 65 meters on each side and features prominent towers at its northwestern and southeastern corners.
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan established his residence at Qasr Al Muwaiji in 1946 when he was appointed as the ruler's representative.
The castle serves as a museum displaying the timeline of Abu Dhabi's ruling family and documents the achievements of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed.
Visitors can explore the castle and its exhibitions daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM to learn about traditional Emirati architecture.
The adjacent Muwaiji Oasis contains 21,000 date palms and maintains the traditional falaj irrigation system developed centuries ago.
