Well worth a visit. - Buying the “Skip the line” ticket saved some queuing. The palace was well worth the visit, and if time permits, stay for the 15 minute light show at 6.30pm, projected on to the outside of the buildings. There is very efficient transport laid on from the outer gates to the Palace.

Presidential Palace - When we went there weren't any lines besides the admission line, but the purchase was still a good price. The Palace was beautiful! The architecture and the beauty of all the work put into this place was amazing!

A must visit Architectural Marvel - Definitely worth visiting and recommended too. Its relatively a new one and grand in its architecture. Though its supposed to be working presidential palace it feels more like a museum. The interiors glitter with chandeliers and the intricate carvings and paintings are not to be missed. Overall an architectural grandeur. A must visit!!!

Worth a visit - Interesting site close to the sea ( corniche). We took some time to ‘grow into’ its history and significance to the development of Abu Dhabi.
