Don't you mean the Al Fah Palace? In my two tours, we never knew it as the "Water Palace", Sir.

MAJ (Join to see) It is known by both names. Saddam built what he called the Water Palace surrounded by water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Faw_Palace
The Al Faw Palace (also known as the Water Palace) is located in Baghdad approximately 5 kilometers from the Baghdad International Airport, Iraq. Saddam Hussein commissioned its construction to commemorate the Iraqi forces' re-taking of the Al-Faw Peninsula during the Iran-Iraq conflict. The palace was constructed in the early 1990s to commemorate Saddam Hussein's victory over the Iranians in the Al-Faw Peninsula in 1988.[1]
