Al Ain Palace Museum is located on the edge of the Al Ain oasis from the west, on the road leading to Sunaya. It tells the past of a man who managed to change the dream to a reality and managed to establish a modern state in a short time. Originally, it was a palace belonging to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan when he was the Ruler's Representative in the Eastern Region. The earliest building in the palace goes back to 1937. Some more buildings were added to the original palace when the late Sheikh Zayed decided to live in it. The private Department that was in charge of this museum also added new architectural elements based on the local tradition. A decision was taken by H.H Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi making the department of Antiquities and Torisim responsible of this museum.
