The Heritage Village
This is a remarkable fortress, rising high and never failing to catch the eye. Here you will get to explore rich historic relics in a famous collection by Mr. Saad AlBalahi.

Servers are waiting to welcome you, dressed in traditional clothes, which makes the experience so rich.
