Manarat Al Saadiyat, established in 2009 as an exhibition center, has evolved into a vibrant community hub contributing to Abu Dhabi's arts scene. Through curated exhibitions, film screenings, performances, workshops, and studio spaces, the center actively engages with the community and explores contemporary concepts and ideas for all ages.

At the heart of Manarat Al Saadiyat lies urbanity and popular culture, with a focus on photography and multimedia. Its ongoing programs cover film, music, animation, gaming, photography, and media, while providing opportunities for creative expression and innovation through art workshops for both children and adults.

The center houses the Photography Studio, Art Studio, and three galleries for temporary exhibitions. It features an outdoor events terrace, a cafe, a brasserie, a 250-seat auditorium, and a 100-seat theater space. As part of the Saadiyat Cultural District, Manarat Al Saadiyat serves as a gateway to Louvre Abu Dhabi, the future Zayed National Museum, and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. It is also the primary location for Abu Dhabi Art and the Culture Summit.

Situated in the Saadiyat Cultural District, the future Guggenheim Abu Dhabi museum is a collaborative effort between the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum program will feature collection displays, special exhibitions, commissions, research, and publications, shedding light on global histories of modern and contemporary art.

Guggenheim Abu Dhabi aims to become the region's leading museum of global modern and contemporary art, offering insights into the interconnected histories and cultures that have influenced the art world. The museum's collection focuses on West Asia, North Africa, and South Asia (WANASA), exploring points of intersection, transcultural exchange, and distinctive artistic achievements.

Spanning art from around 1960, the collection includes over 600 works representing various media, generations of artists, and a diverse range of countries and regions, with a dedicated emphasis on the Gulf and WANASA.

The Zayed National Museum, situated in the heart of Abu Dhabi's Saadiyat Cultural District, pays tribute to the UAE's history, culture, and stories, as well as the enduring values of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the nation's founder. His legacy continues to serve as a guiding light for the country and its people.

The museum showcases various rooms, including an art gallery, modeled after the traditional majlis, which serves as a meeting room for receiving visitors. It features a replica grand court tent in one of the courts, symbolizing a connection with Bedouin life. Additionally, there is a Land Rover resembling the one driven by Sheikh Zayed in the desert to visit Bedouin communities. Just behind the museum lies the Al Ain Oasis, accessible through a nearby entrance, with a path leading to the Al Ain National Museum.

TeamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi is set to be an inspirational space igniting curiosity, imagination and creativity in all who visit. The purpose-built, 17,000sqm teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi building will be populated with unparalleled installations that will be unique to Abu Dhabi, created through an extensive process of research and development.

Visitors will be asked to open their minds and embark on a journey through teamLab's new concept of environmental phenomena, which will offer a new perspective on the world around us. The featured artworks will be created and shaped by the environments which produce various phenomena. The architecture, designed exclusively for teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi, also plays an important role in allowing the artworks to evolve freely and organically, as if they were life-forms themselves.

The experience will be unique to each visitor, changing with each visit, as they discover a place in which to endlessly explore and transcend the limits of their imagination.

Open to the public since March 2023; there are three Houses of Worship to discover within the grounds of Abrahamic Family House:

Imam Ahmed El-Tayeb Mosque
Moses Ben Maimon Synagogue
St Francis Church

Designed by Sir David Adjaye OM OBE, each is equal in size – 30 metres high, 30 metres wide and 30 metres tall. Each is angled slightly differently for religious significance and has slightly different internal and external architectural features to admire. However, each is built with the same materials, and there is no hierarchy nor supremacy.

After checking in, you enter through a central Forum and then explore each of the Houses of Worship. There is also a central garden to explore and a small cafe. Staff are also providing visitors with Arabic coffee and sweets to try at the conclusion of your tour.
