The Palace took 150 million man hours to build and is part of the 380,000-square-metre Presidential Palace compound.

The façade is constructed from white granite and limestone built to last hundreds of years with the colour white chosen as a symbol of purity and peace.

More than a traditional palace, Qasr Al Watan is an exquisitely crafted tribute to the region’s Arabian heritage and artistry.
