Your Experience at Qasr Al Watan

Discover a Symbol of Emirati Legacy

Qasr Al Watan, located in the heart of Abu Dhabi, is more than a presidential palace—it is a symbol of the UAE’s heritage, openness and vision for the future. Open to the public, this architectural gem gives visitors a glimpse into Arabian artistry and modern leadership. As you stroll through its grand halls, admire ornate domes, intricate mosaics and the stunning use of white granite and gold, each detail reflecting the UAE’s dedication to preserving tradition alongside progress.

Architectural Grandeur and Palatial Interiors

The palace’s interiors are a highlight for many. Step inside the Great Hall to witness a blend of geometric designs and calligraphic details all bathed in natural light. Marvel at hand-crafted chandeliers, soaring archways and the impressive central dome—a masterpiece of palatial design. Each room is meticulously crafted, from the halls used for official state visits to those showcasing cultural and intellectual achievements of the nation.

Explore the Palace Gardens

Beyond the palace walls lush gardens await, featuring carefully manicured lawns, native flora and striking fountains. These tranquil outdoors are perfect for a leisurely stroll, scenic photographs or simply basking in the peaceful ambience surrounding this national monument.

The Grand Library

With volumes covering subjects like archaeology, history, social sciences and the arts, guests can browse rare manuscripts and contemporary works reflecting the diverse culture of the UAE. It is a space dedicated to knowledge, dialogue and the nation’s intellectual progress.

Unique Experiences: The Palace in Motion Show and Falcon Encounters

Don’t miss the Palace in Motion show—a captivating light and sound presentation that takes place each evening. This spectacle reimagines the story of the UAE in three acts: past, present and future, bringing the palace facade to life with vibrant graphics and music. During specific periods, visitors can witness falcon experiences in front of the palace’s main gate and learn about this revered bird’s role in Emirati culture. Capture photos with majestic birds and enjoy interactive displays to deepen your understanding of this national symbol.
