Amazing palace, nice place to take some photos and to see Abi Dhabi from another perspective. You take the bus from the first entrance to the entrance of the palace, everything included with the ticket. No need to book the time, you just go. Also, ticket were on sale!

This is my 2nd visit to Qasr Al Watan, which is a beautiful architectural marvel. The artistic work with contrasting but dazzling colors gives a great ambience to this beautiful place. The outer layout surrounded by gardens with different colours of flowers, water body and surronding buildings enhances the beauty of this place. The reflection of the setting sun on the nearby hotels and building creates splendid view which can be seen from the Qasar Al Watan gardens.

I am speechless, very interesting and very beautiful. If you bought your tickets online, you can skip the first line. I recommend that you do the palace first and then the mosque because it is freer.

Your experience

An architectural marvel

Nestled in Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Watan is a presidential palace that was recently opened to the public. One of the finest examples of Arabic architecture and craftsmanship, the palace's design signifies its heritage and its future vision. The palace has its own library with books on a wide range of subjects including archaeology, history, heritage, memoirs, biographies, human and social sciences, statistics, administration, culture, literature, arts, etc. It also has its own gift shops; one at the Visitors Center and the other at the palace building. One of the major attractions of the palace is its light and sound show, which depicts the history and growth of the UAE as a nation. This show has been divided into three acts: past, present, and future. Also get a chance to hold a falcon, take some pictures with them, and learn more about their nature and behavior at a falcon experience in front of the palace's main door.
