Six hours sounded long and it was not. The library alone was worth the booking, and the pick-up was on time to the minute.

Qasr Al Watan — the royal journey
The working presidential palace, its library, and the great hall under the dome.

CityAbu Dhabi
Qasr Al Watan is not a museum dressed as a palace — it is a functioning seat of government that opens part of itself to the public. The tour takes the great hall, the presidential library and the gift collection, timed so you are under the dome when the light is best, and finishes before the evening projection show starts.
Tour highlights
- The great hall, 37 metres to the top of the dome
- The presidential library
- House of Knowledge and the gift collection
