โ€œWas not busy at all. A bit of a good research adventure spot. Really kind staff, the entire place is mantained well and also welcoming. There is not a whole lot to see but whatever is preserved is worth looking at and stopping by for.โ€

โ€œNice and historical place to know how UAQ Kings ruled during the olden days. Small but so many details in the fort. A jail, weapons display, number plates, passports, driver license, jewellery of the royal family, the souq, kitchen. You'll go back to the old days and you'll get to know the rich culture of UAQ.โ€
