Hello everyone, I loved visiting this museum, it is very large and interesting! I recommend it if you ever don't know what to do in Abu Dhabi, and in terms of value for money, it's really worth it! Too crowded during the visits, though, but it's manageable. The LEGO exhibition is also well done and included in the price, but it's temporary, so definitely check it out too (it's geared more toward kids, though)!

This was actually a last minute plan for us and Headout made the whole process really easy. We booked on the day and everything was handled very quickly, with our tickets coming through within around 30 minutes. From the moment we arrived the whole experience was amazing. We were greeted by security and shown where to go. Entry was really quick, our tickets were scanned at the desk and we went through security very swiftly. From there you get on a shuttle coach that takes you towards the palace and even the views on the way are amazing. When you arrive at the Presidential Palace itself, honestly no words or pictures can fully describe it. The building is an absolute masterpiece. You can hear birds and parakeets chirping outside and with the palace surrounding you it genuinely feels like you’re somewhere out of this world. Once you go inside, the sheer size of everything is immense. The ceilings, chandeliers and amount of detail throughout are incredible. There’s so much to see, from the presidential meeting rooms and dining rooms to ancient books, artwork and other artefacts. It was really interesting being able to walk through the different areas and learn more about the history and culture. Towards the end you go through the gift shop which has loads of cool gifts and souvenirs, and then you can explore the gardens outside. We also stayed for the light show at the palace which was a brilliant way to finish the visit. Afterwards you simply get the shuttle bus back to the main entrance. Overall it was a lovely experience from start to finish. Every member of staff and security we interacted with was welcoming and a pleasure to deal with. Headout made a last minute plan incredibly straightforward and we had no issues at all with our booking or tickets. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip and somewhere I’d recommend visiting if you’re in Abu Dhabi.

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt effortless. Our Headout tickets made entry smooth and hassle-free, so we could spend our time enjoying the palace rather than dealing with queues or logistics. We visited as a family, and the first time we stepped into the Great Hall was the moment that really made the day for us. The sheer scale, intricate details and incredible Arabian architecture are difficult to appreciate fully through photographs — seeing it in person was completely different. What I loved most was that it wasn't just a beautiful building; the visit gave us a sense of the UAE's culture, heritage and vision. We also stayed for the Palace in Motion show, which was the perfect ending and made the entire experience feel even more memorable. A beautifully organised experience from Headout and a genuinely unforgettable visit to one of Abu Dhabi's most remarkable landmarks.

A masterpiece of grandeur, elegance, and serenity. The breathtaking architecture, intricate details, and majestic halls reflect the rich heritage and vision of the UAE. But beyond its beauty, there is a profound sense of peace here. Walking through its magnificent spaces, surrounded by light, symmetry, and silence, feels almost timeless.

I was able to receive the tickets in real-time through the Headout app. That was super convenient. The experience at the the museum itself was stellar. The staff were super considerate. My toddler who is a fan of dinos and animals really enjoyed all the exhibits - especially the T Rex one. The Lego play area was the icing on the cake.

A must-see visit, the Palace is spectacular. In the library, we had a mini-tour with someone of unmatched friendliness and generosity who accompanied us and explained the books on display.

The tour itself was very nice, don't forget that there is a dress code (no slightly sheer clothes...) but they lent me a scarf... on the other hand, I didn't receive the order confirmation and had to write the night before... they replied quickly until the moment I stopped getting answers, until the next day when they finally sent me the ticket without any explanation... for a first experience, it wasn't really great on Headout's part...
