Overview

The century-old Al Jahili Fort in Al Ain is a testimony to the rich history and ingenious craftsmanship of the people of the time. Al Jahili is one of the largest forts in the UAE and was built in the 1890s on orders from Zayed The First as the home to members of the Al Nahyan ruling family.

Organised in co-operation with the Abu Dhabi General Police Headquarters, this live show demonstrates the skills and unique capabilities of police dogs in security and hunting.

The event aims to highlight the significance of Al Jahili Fort as a symbol of power in the 1950s. It underlines the importance of dogs, which were used for hunting
and security in Emirati heritage.

Families and visitors will also get to participate in educational workshops.
