Qasr Al Hosn Festival @ Abu Dhabi



The Qasr Al Hosn Festival was running last week and my brother got us the VIP tickets to catch the afternoon performance. We thought we were late as the timing showed "3.15pm" on the ticket. However, on arrival, we realized that the performance only begins at 4.15pm! *Phew*

The show lasted about an hour and I must say that I was impressed by their performance. They even had a real horse participating in the performance as well - no idea how they actually trained the horse since it wasn't reined! The effort put in showed in the performance delivered.

Besides the performance, there are on-going activities at the festival such as camel ride, henna drawings, desmonstration of dates preparation etc.
