Description

The oldest and most distinguishable structure in Abu Dhabi, the White Fort is iconic without being a showy. The original structure was constructed in 1761 as a conical watchtower and later became the official residence of Abu Dhabi's rulers in 1793. Despite several renovations, the tile work at the main entrance and in the main courtyard are still sublime.
