More information

Qasr Al Watan is a breathtaking palace in Abu Dhabi that opens its doors to visitors eager to discover the grandeur and heritage of the United Arab Emirates. More than just a working presidential palace, it stands as a cultural landmark where you can explore magnificent halls, intricate architecture, and exhibits that shed light on the nation’s rich traditions and governance. A visit here offers an unforgettable journey into Emirati culture and craftsmanship.

A Glance at Its Past

Completed in 2017, this palace was designed to host official government functions and welcome state guests. However, it quickly became a symbol of knowledge and openness, as the public now has access to its majestic rooms and collections. The striking white granite and limestone façade, together with the sparkling domes, reflect the visionary spirit of the UAE.

Best Time to Visit

The palace is open year-round, but the best time to visit is during the cooler months from November to March. The pleasant weather lets you enjoy the gardens and outdoor light shows comfortably.
