Qasr Al Watan

Do they have special rates for senior citizens and children which you don’t see online always. Especially if you’re coming with senior citizens, I would not recommend buying tickets in advance. The whole check-in process was extremely smooth. I had my dad in a wheelchair and they let me and my diet in complementary because he was on a wheelchair. Which I think is a great gesture! After security check we went on a bus ride to the actual palace. The bus had an introductory audio about the palace which was very informative. The sheer architectural marvel is a must visit for every tourist coming to Dubai ! The intricate work, color palettes, the chandeliers on the ceiling are all breathtaking and really pleasing to the eye

Impressive and a stunning example of modern architecture. It is 6 times bigger than Buckingham Palace. You are greeted by these humongous and thick doors. When you enter, you are stunned by the beauty of modern architecture and how much wealth there is in the UAE. You can marvel at the chandeliers, gold, and the books. It is a must-visit place.

One of my favorite experiences in trying around all of the Abu Dhabi sites. A rare chance to see inside a magnificent working palace that hosts the UAE government meetings and official state visits. Really amazing huge rooms with absolutely beautiful stone work and decor. A section of state gifts from other countries is really cool as well as the library. Who climbs those ladders??

Today we visited the Presidential Palace — a place where architectural beauty meets the spirit of UAE culture and history. White domes, marble halls, and light reflecting in every corner — everything looks majestic and inspiring. Definitely a must-visit if you want to feel the true atmosphere of the Emirates.

Qasr Al Watan, located in Abu Dhabi, is a breathtaking palace that offers a unique glimpse into the heritage, culture, and governance of the United Arab Emirates. The architecture is grand and intricate, with stunning domes, detailed carvings, and opulent interiors that reflect traditional Arabian craftsmanship. Visitors can explore exhibitions on the UAE’s political system, historical achievements, and literary contributions. The light and sound show in the evening adds a magical touch to the experience. Qasr Al Watan is not just a palace but a symbol of knowledge and legacy, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and history enthusiasts.

The actual palace is an impressive building and I’d recommend getting an online ticket on trip.com or other portals. One issue is that it’s inconvenient to order Uber here as although there are a lot of pick up spots located on the app, in actuality the security personnel are very particular about where you can get on. It would be great if they just set a few clear spots like how airports do it.

Definitely worth visiting and recommended too. Its relatively a new one and grand in its architecture. Though its supposed to be working presidential palace it feels more like a museum. The interiors glitter with chandeliers and the intricate carvings and paintings are not to be missed. Overall an architectural grandeur. A must visit !!!!

I simply have to start with the staff. The people who work here are the most professional, kindest and friendliest people I've ever come across in my entire life. Yes, the palace is absolutely breathtaking and spectacular.... but hats off to the staff here. The moment you enter, straight through, its pure gold class excellence. Most amazing people! I cannot stress this enough! And the Palace is an absolutely MUST SEE!
