I really liked this place: a beautiful palace, a beautiful area around. Inside, all the decorations are in gold and Arabic ornaments. It is interesting to see how presidents work: a meeting room, a library, a banquet hall. There is a room with gifts to the President of the UAE from other countries: the Korans impressed. There is also a mini-museum about the history of Arabic science. All the exhibits are signed in English, if you know, then it is clear what is where.
The ticket costs $ 18 (bought on a tripster with a Russian card with a transfer to rubles). So an adult ticket costs 65 dirhams. You can buy it on the palace's website (Russian cards do not pay). Clothing: all knees and shoulders are covered, both men and women. You don't need a handkerchief.
The beauty is incredible, super photos, worth a visit!

I came in transit for 1 day to Abu Dhabi.
Qasr Al Watan is one of the best places I have visited. Wonderful views, beautiful territory and architecture, wherever you look, everything fascinates and enchants with its beauty!
There is a very good organization here. To begin with, the entrance is not through the main arch, but from the side. Two passes for people who bought a ticket in advance on the website and for those who did not buy. The ticket price for an adult is 75 dihrams.
Clothes should cover the shoulders and knees! Do not shine through!
After buying/checking tickets, go through a bag check, as there is a list of some things that you cannot take with you.
And then you expect a bus that will take you straight to the Palace through the territory.
In the palace, the time on the ticket is unlimited. You can also go inside or out as many times as you want. The territory outside is very beautiful and clean. It's cooler inside, but it's also beautiful and clean. There are several halls inside, with small descriptions in English and Arabic.
There is a cafe where you can have a snack, the prices are slightly cheaper than at the airport.
You also need to return by bus.

It's a masterpiece! The grandeur and splendor are amazing!
Qasr Al Watan is the current Presidential Palace and a cultural landmark where anyone can touch the history and traditions of the UAE. Guests can not only admire the beauty of the palace, but also see exhibitions and expositions that tell about the rich culture and history of the country.
We visited the palace during a tour of Abu Dhabi. Strict control .Buses run from the entrance to the palace. You can explore the territory only from the window. Armed guards.
It really needs to be looked at. It takes your breath away from the scale of the beautiful. We were lucky that there were no meetings, as the visit would have been closed to tourists. Meeting room, banquet hall, library. A hall with an exhibition of gifts from countries. A restaurant for tourists, a gift shop.
Just a must-visit!
