The place it's amazing must see but it was so crowded and even though we had skip the line tickets we had to wait in the line to enter inside . On the way back we waited for the buses outside in the heat and it took a while to get them

Easy to book online And cheaper! My only quibble is that the site said the tickets would be sent within 30 mins, and it took about 45. No problem all with 45 mins - except that I was beginning to worry! When something is cheaper than the 'proper' price, I worry there's a catch. But otherwise fab experience. Will use you again when I next have visitors that I'm showing round Abu Dhabi.

It was very quick service getting a ticket thru headout. This is the 3rd time i am visiting this palace. The construction is unbelievable. Every single marble is carefully crafted and it explicit superior architecture. Its lighting is extra awsome. It is so clean and well maintained. my only worry was, there was no prayer room inside the palace. I am from India, where we Muslims are just 20%. But in all Airports in India there is a prayer hall. Countries like Abu Dhabi, where majority is Muslims would really worry not seeing prayer room inside the Palace. Kindly bring this to notice under the concerned department. On the day of inaugurating a prayer room inside the Palace, please invite me.
