One of the most magnificent palaces i’ve been to and one of the highlights of the city. Qasr Al Watan is a working presidential palace, not a royal residence, but a venue for important state functions. It hosts diplomatic meetings, Council of Ministers sessions, and other high-level governmental events. Built between 2010 and 2017, the exterior is made from white granite and limestone, giving it a majestic appearance. The central dome (in the Great Hall) is especially impressive: about 37 m in diameter and reaching 60 m in height. The palace uses three main colours: blue, white, and yellow, symbolically representing the Arabian Gulf, purity, and desert sands. The main hall is by far the main highlight of the palace, it’s very gigantic and spacious, richly decorated and simply breathtaking. There are multiple exhibitions within the palace, from gifts from world leaders, to historical manuscripts and a 50,000 books library. There’s also a cafe inside. It’s most definitely not a place you wanna miss if you’re in Abu Dhabi.

Do they have special rates for senior citizens and children which you don’t see online always. Especially if you’re coming with senior citizens, I would not recommend buying tickets in advance. The whole check-in process was extremely smooth. I had my dad in a wheelchair and they let me and my diet in complementary because he was on a wheelchair. Which I think is a great gesture! After security check we went on a bus ride to the actual palace. The bus had an introductory audio about the palace which was very informative. The sheer architectural marvel is a must visit for every tourist coming to Dubai ! The intricate work, color palettes, the chandeliers on the ceiling are all breathtaking and really pleasing to the eye

Today we visited the Presidential Palace — a place where architectural beauty meets the spirit of UAE culture and history. White domes, marble halls, and light reflecting in every corner — everything looks majestic and inspiring. Definitely a must-visit if you want to feel the true atmosphere of the Emirates.
