This is a magical place. I have all the respect to the craftsmanship and to the government to allowing us the visitors to have a peek and enjoy this magical place. So well preserved, supportive staff and great learning about the great achievers of the Emiraty men and women

The price is really affordable, the tickets arrived right away, and there were zero problems at the checkpoint. I found it by chance on the internet—it's truly the best.

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.
