More than eighty historic buildings are officially registered within Abu Dhabi Emirate. These vary from small mosques to large standing structures such as forts and palaces. The majority are located within the city of Al Ain, although a unique group of traditional buildings are found on the island of

Dalma. These include a former pearl merchant’s home (Bait al-Muraykhi), which houses a small museum, and a group of three mosques (Mesjid al-Muraykhi, Mesjid al-Dawsari and Mesjid al-Muhannadi). Liwa also contains a number of historic forts that have been reconstructed.`
