As soon as I entered the palace, I realised how valuable it is for tourists. Generally tourists can enter mosques and churches in this region but not any real palaces. It will definitely attract many tourists to Abu Dhabi. I know that several millions of tourists from Dubai visit Shaikh Zayed Grand Mosque every year. Now I am sure most of them will visit Qasr Al Watan as well.

“I felt as if I’m a ‘sultan’ when I entered the palace. It was a feeling of elation when I first walked in to visit because of the elegant environment. Everything inside this palace is beautiful and attractive. I will definitely come back here again. The palace aroused my interest in history and architecture. I am sure tourists from across the globe will have the same feeling.”
