Qasr Al Watan

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!

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.

Highly recommend visiting. This palace is built less than 10 years ago, but I'm impressed that even nowadays, you can build such a beauty. Luxury in every detail. We really enjoyed this visit. Some dress code is needed even for male - shorts should not be above your knee level! It's worth the price we paid and time we spent.

This palace, even though it is only really used when dignitaries are visiting is absolutely phenomenal, and for me what is more amazing is the fact the complex was built in 7 years. Unbelievable! This should be a must visit for anyone in my opinion. Like most attractions one must que and go through security. This was really efficient, best I have ever seen thus far.

Breathtaking. 😮‍💨 The entry was accessible and we didn’t wait too long to get the bus. 🚌 You need time to visit the entire area, I would say 2h would be enough but it depends on how much time you want to spend in each room, and if you are a photographer it would take you longer. 📷 You can book in advance or on the spot.(we didn’t wait too long to buy on the spot but it was on a weekday so I would recommend to book if possible) Inside you can find souvenirs and a cafeteria & food. 🍲 ☕️ Thank you for allowing us to see this wonderful place! 🙏
