a must see especially those visiting abu dhabi first time, this place has a massive halls and garden place, high ceilings and the arts displayed inside. I recommend to go around 4pm for tour inside and watch the palace in motion light show which usually starts at 7:45pm

Qasr Al Watan is absolutely breathtaking. The architecture is stunning, and the entire palace has such a serene, peaceful energy. You could easily spend a whole day wandering through the halls and gardens just soaking it all in. A truly beautiful and must-see experience!

Incredible attention to detail and grand design. The transition from the massive interior halls to the expansive outdoor grounds at golden hour is unmatched. Easily one of the most impressive landmarks in Abu Dhabi.

A place that leaves you speechless, more over for that fact that this gigantic fabulous palace is completely inhabited. The monumental architecture and the exquisite interiors give you and idea of sacradness even if is only a representative palace. Not only maniacally cared place but also very well organised with internal shuttle bus, services and accessibility. Thanks to the very helpful staff, also for the quick refund of two extra tickets that I accidentally purchased by mistake on the website. Absolutely recommended during a visit of Abu Dhabi
