Qasr Al Watan

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??

Work of art. Good collection of artifacts! Beautiful interior and grand scale design. Must visit in Abu Dhabi. Tripods are not allowed inside and they do have storage space to keep your items safe until your return.

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.

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!

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 !!!!

It is a must visit place in Abu Dhabi. It is a working palace that you can explore. Also, it contains many artifacts and showcases, some of which are historical. I highly recommend visiting this place. You can easily finish the tour within 1.5 hours.
