The morning light on Abu Dhabi’s shoreline hits the Louvre’s silver dome and the palace’s white facades with equal drama. Walk from a seaside piazza into galleries where the dome filters a patterned “rain of light,” then carry that quiet forward to the marble halls and formal gardens of Qasr Al Watan.
