I recently visited Qasr Al Watan—the majestic "Palace of the Nation" in Abu Dhabi—and it was an unforgettable journey through architecture, history, and cultural pride. From the moment you step off the shuttle from the Visitor Centre, the palace's façade—gleaming with white granite and limestone—sets the tone for something extraordinary. Inside, the soaring Great Hall takes your breath away. A dome nearly 37 m across floats above, surrounded by mirrored cubes and mosaic marble. Blue, white, and yellow symbolize the Gulf waters, purity, and desert sands—a restrained palette conveying enormous elegance Every detail—from hand-crafted calligraphy to embroidered patterns—is a testament to centuries-old Arabian craftsmanship. The reflective mirrored corners create unique perspectives that feel immersive and meditative

The palace is nice, but you only see a small part of it. Do get tickets online, as they are cheaper than at the entrance.

*A Memorable Experience at Qasr Al Watan Palace* My family and I recently visited the stunning *Qasr Al Watan* Palace in Abu Dhabi, and it was an unforgettable experience. The palace’s breathtaking architecture, blending traditional Arabian design with modern elements, immediately impressed us. Every detail, from the intricate carvings to the grand domes, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the UAE. The interiors were equally magnificent, with beautifully decorated halls and fascinating exhibitions that provided us with a deeper understanding of the country’s history and governance. The central dome and the surrounding gardens were particularly awe-inspiring. We spent several hours exploring the palace, and the experience was made even more enjoyable by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. It was a wonderful way to learn about the UAE's culture while spending quality time with my family. If you’re visiting Abu Dhabi, *Qasr Al Watan* is a must-see. It’s not just a palace, but a cultural treasure that offers a unique and enriching experience. Aissa

It was a great experience, thanks to Fazal's excellent guiding skills. Besides the wealth of information provided during our trip, he showed real interest in making our visits as successfull as possible, taking care of details we weren't aware of. The whole trip went smooth, we were not in a rush, everything was on time and we felt safe. If you are looking for a trip to Abu Dhabi without stops to various local shops, than this is for you.

Loved both the Palace and Ferrari World - was cheaper to do this package than Ferrari World separately so it seemed like a no brainer! Good to have a cultural experience mixed with a fun experience.
