In line with the UAE’s wider commitment to collaborative social responsibility and in a bid to support and engage senior citizens in the community, Qasr Al Watan has welcomed more than 90 senior Emirati citizens on 20th and 21st March who explored the history, traditions and journey of the UAE.

During their tours, visitors had the opportunity to explore the Palace’s stunning architecture, where they observed traditional Arabian art and Islamic geometrical patterns along with intricate designs and rare artefacts, in addition to the significant art sculptures by Mattar bin Lahej, “The Power of Words”, reflecting a quote by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.

Qasr Al Watan’s visitors were also introduced to a glimpse of the UAE’s future while also highlighting the rich legacy they helped build for their country. Additionally, the tour took them into the specifics of the UAE’s system of governance and the multiple open exhibits showcasing the nation’s founding fathers and history.

As a gesture of appreciation and a way to commemorate their visit, the senior visitors were personally gifted with hand-picked souvenirs from Qasr Al Watan.
