The intense competition between Abu Dhabi and Dubai to be the most attractive on the international scene has led to the creation of the mega projects on Saadiyah Island (Abu Dhabi) which will hold offsprings of the Guggenheim and the Louvre (set to open in 2016).

Saadiyat Island is 1h30 away by car from Downtown Dubai.

Want to take a break from the museum or simply enjoy a day off? Spend it at Saadiyat Beach Club: they have day passes to enjoy the pool and the spa. Or just eat at their restaurant. Don’t miss their fantastic Friday brunch at Safina’s (book!)
