Sheikh Zayed Palace Gallery

Sheikh Zayed Palace Gallery

The former palace of Sheikh Zayed is one of the city's newest tourist attractions. Located on Al Ain Street, in the heart of the city on the perimeter of the Al Ain Oasis, the palace is the former residence of the rule of Al Ain, later to be the President of the UAE.

The palace has been restored to a specific period when it was occupied by Sh. Zayed. The furnishings selected for the palace are those that would have been in the rooms at that time. Visitors to the site will notice how sparsely the rooms are furnished.
