Reem Island / Maryah Island

I just thought I would take some photos to show how things are developing on these islands. Some are below, but there is also a full album linked below.


The towers of Abu Dhabi Investment Council and Al Hilal Bank. This was taken from Al Salam Street, Eastern Corniche.



The bridge across to Reem Island from Defense Road (11th Street)



Marina Square, Reem Island


Shams Abu Dhabi, including Sky And Sun Towers and the Gate Towers - which remind me of Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore




The Paris Sorbonne University on Reem Island


The long awaited Salam Street tunnel!


This is Al Maryah Island (formally Al Sowwah Island - I don't think its sounds too good when you are pitching to global businesses! - it's pronounced Soo-wah). I thought I would label it so you can see what's what. There is also a video clip below from the same spot.



The clip pans from ADFC across to The Beach Rotana, Abu Dhabi Mall and Le Meridien Hotel beach.




...and here is the full photo album (sorry I should have exported larger files)

  1. Good to find your blog. I have lived in Abu Dhabi for 6 years and I must admit I am missing the life there. Dubai is a bit hectic for me.

    I've worked on the Marina Square project on Al Reem island. Brings back memories.
