Qasr Al Hosn is one the most interesting and fascinating landmarks in Abu Dhabi.
The ancient fort is an excellent place to explore if you’re new to the city or want to find out more about the UAE’s culture and heritage.
Housed within Qasr Al Hosn, The Cultural Foundation is another destination where you can see the works of contemporary local artists and learn about the wealth of creativity and artistry that has emerged from the capital.
This week on September 4, a new theatre will open at The Cultural Foundation to add a programme of dance, music and theatrical performances to the schedule throughout the year.

To celebrate the launch a number of events are set to take place at the new venue throughout September, including contemporary and classical Arabic music, dance, and theatre performances.
