The Palace houses an impressive collection of documents on the ruling Al Nahyan family and it was built in the traditional architectural style of the Bedouins in 1937. Here we will see the private rooms and gardens once occupied by Sheikh Zayed and his family until 1966, when they moved to Abu Dhabi.

Camels have a special value in UAE culture and here we will have the opportunity to get closer to these friendly animals, take pictures with them and follow the locals who are coming up for the haggle.
