A vast, pristine white palace of mega-proportions and strikingly intricate decoration, you’ll likely spend your visit in absolute awe of its majestic beauty.

Inside the palace, you’ll get a fascinating insight into the Arab heritage and culture that shaped the history of the United Arab Emirates. Outside, explore the stunning landscaped gardens and admire the building's fantasy-like architecture.

At Qasr Al Watan - literally Palace of the Nation - you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the UAE’s governing traditions and values and will be able to explore a well-preserved legacy of knowledge and tradition. Explore a vast collection of artifacts and manuscripts that highlight the Arab world’s contributions to various intellectual fields including science, arts, humanities, and literature.
