Visit with a delayed start

Ray, Sep 2025

Unfortunately the staff at the reception did not know what to do with the Viator voucher and had to ask their supervisor whilst we waited for a while while things were sorted out. Also we were the only visitors so the fast pass wasn’t really necessary. Eventually we received tickets in exchange for the Viator voucher. The actual building was worth a visit

Buy ticket in office not here

Jingke_Y, Jan 2024

The ticket pickup was horrible. Got the email with Voucher and it still requires to pick up the ticket in Qasr Al Hosn office. And NO one in ticket office is redeeming the voucher. The ticket officer has to call in his supervisor and check the system booking to issue tickets for us. 40 mins for pick the ticket. And there is no fast track cuz there were basically no lines to anything. I suggest anyone who wants to visit Qasr Al Hosn to buy ticket directly from their ticket office.
