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!

The aquarium has exciting scenery: some rooms are like submarine, ship and airplane wrecks in tanks. And of course, numerious fishes, rays, sharks including bull sharks, nurse sharks, reef sharks. At the end it has a glass passage through a tank with sharks, rays and trevallies. You can see big capybaras and manatees (mammal sea cow). There are also frogs, and other amphibians, snakes including pythons, some birds. I and my wife are very excited of this visit! And I've got a good discount booking via headout.

Palace of the Nation

Qasr al Watan, also known as the Palace of the Nation, is a majestic cultural landmark of UAE. You will be welcomed into the spectacular Great Hall as soon as you pass through the palace’s imposing archways. The interiors boast opulent halls and chambers featuring ornate carvings, domes, and grand chandeliers.

The Great Hall is often utilized for significant official events, ceremonies, and diplomatic gatherings. Don't forget to visit the Spirit of Collaboration room where you'll come across diplomatic gifts that were exchanged with the UAE as a sign of good ties with other countries. Vases, daggers, swords, and even a piece of cloth that covers the Holy Kaaba—gifts from Saudi Arabia to the United Arab Emirates—are among the artefacts you may find here. The Qasr al Watan Library is another noteworthy feature, where guests can peruse rare manuscripts, historical documents, and artifacts, gaining insights into the nation's journey from its Bedouin roots to its present-day prominence.

Glimpse of the underwater world

The National Aquarium Abu Dhabi fosters a deep appreciation of creatures, corals, and plants that make up the mysterious underwater world while ensuring that habitats and ecosystems are protected for generations to come. The aquarium is home to over 35,000 aquatic animals. The aquarium is made up of 10 themed zones, each offering a unique chance to discover not just rare and exotic species, but also the existence of numerous ecosystems. Visitors get to view and experience the magnitude and raw beauty of marine life with creatures sourced from the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea to the Amazon, the Pacific, the Mediterranean, and the frozen waters of the Arctic.
