Day 01

Qasr Al Watan

The working presidential palace at the heart of Abu Dhabi, opened to the public in 2019. The Great Hall sits under a 37-metre dome, and the House of Knowledge holds manuscripts tracing Arab contributions to science and astronomy. Allow two hours; an evening light-and-sound show is projected onto the facade.

Louvre Abu Dhabi

Jean Nouvel's museum on Saadiyat Island, where a 180-metre latticed dome filters sunlight into what the architect called a rain of light. The galleries are arranged by era rather than by nation, placing works from different civilisations side by side, and include loans from the Louvre in Paris. Allow two to three hours.

This ticket covers admission to both venues; transport between them is not included unless stated on your booking.
They sit roughly 20 minutes apart by road in Abu Dhabi - Qasr Al Watan in Ras Al Akhdar, Louvre Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island - so allow for the transfer and around two hours at each.
Dress code applies at the palace and is enforced at the door: shoulders and knees covered, no sleeveless tops, shorts or torn clothing.
The Louvre has no dress code but does have airport-style security, and large bags must go in the cloakroom.
Both buildings are fully air-conditioned, level and wheelchair accessible.
The Louvre closes one day a week and hours vary, so check the current opening times before you travel and plan the palace for the other half of the day.
