Al-Hosn Palace, commonly known as the Old Fort or the White Fort, was built in the late 19th century, making it the oldest building in town. In fact it's one of the few buildings in Abu Dhabi that's more than 30 years old.
The interior is off limits, used by the Cultural Foundation as a research centre, but the courtyard is a wonderful place to cool down. The tilework over the main (northern) gate is gorgeous.
