Qasr Al Watan is Abu Dhabi’s ceremonial presidential palace — shoot grand neoclassical façades, ornate domes, intricate mashrabiya patterns and mirrored marble halls. Best light: golden hour for warm stone, blue hour and night for illuminated domes and reflecting pools. Ticketed entry and security checks apply; modest dress is required. Weekdays are less crowded; on-site parking and guided tours available. Some interior rooms restrict tripods and flash.
