  • The most popular attraction at the moment is the Museum of the Future, which opened its doors in February 2022. Designed by architect Shaun Killa, from space missions to bioengineering, its seven floors envisage how science and technology will shape the next 50 years of humanity. Incredibly impressive!

  • Another architectural beauty that should not be missed for its beauty and complexity of Dame Zaha Hadid's first project in the UAE, the Sheikh Zayed Bridge. Its fluid silhouette is a sight to behold, especially at night as the lighting system comes on. Connecting Abu Dhabi to Saadiyat Island, Zaha Hadid's work on Sheikh Zayed Bridge is said to be one of the most complex bridges ever built.
