Heritage Area
The beautiful historic buildings in the Heritage Area, just inland from the Corniche between Burj Ave and Al-Maraija Rd, have been carefully restored and faithfully reconstructed using traditional materials such as sea rock, coral, and gypsum. First visit the imposing Al-Hisn Fort, with its fascinating historical exhibits inside, before making your way to the atmospheric Literature Square and the House of Poetry.
