Qasr Al Hosn culture festival to be staged in Abu Dhabi

Named after Abu Dhabi’s symbolic birth place, the Qasr Al Hosn annual festival will take place in Abu Dhabi from February 11 to 21, the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi).

The event will celebrate traditional and modern Emirati heritage and culture, through a series of curated programs held under the patronage of HH General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

“With Qasr Al Hosn Festival, we are not just celebrating monuments; we are celebrating the people that have carried the story of a nation generation-to-generation. We are looking to illustrate the importance of conserving the fort as a symbol of great significance in Emirati history, protecting our national identity and heritage through passing down our most valued traditions,” said HE Sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, chairman of Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority. “We’re looking to celebrating our recent history through a compelling narrative using modern-day tools to recreate historic experiences,” he added.
