Having seen this absolutely awe-inspiring architectural Along the secluded coastline, the islands are intricately shaped by inlets and canals and linked by bridges to ease accessibility. Imagine if you will over 10km of vibrant living space bustling will lively restaurants and cafes overlooking scenic marinas, an energetic setting where 120,000 residents live in fabulous surroundings enjoying picture perfect views across the water. At the heart of Al Raha Beach, a dynamic business district infiltrates the Abu Dhabi skyline with striking office towers centred around an outstanding circular marina which provides the ideal setting for the newWorld Trade Centre building. To put this in context, Al Raha beach represents the same distance from the southern tip of Manhattan to Central Park in New York, or from Regent’s Park to the Millennium Dome in London, yet provides an idyllic community life where transport and safety are intrinsic features of the well-conceived infrastructure. Residents have the flexibility to live life the way they want with a choice of communities offering peaceful family villas in tree-lined waterfront settings to more lively high-class apartments at the heart of exciting districts with international and boutique retail outlets, fabulous galleries and performance spaces.

It couldn’t be easier to get around as we discovered to our delight. It is always Aldar’s intention to direct developments that make life easier for the inhabitants and easily link communities. With this philosophy in mind, several types of transport interconnect with each other at transport hubs and traffic and pedestrians move freely throughout the city. Light rail allows for quick mass transit throughout the development, along with the fast ‘jet cat’ catamaran and ferries whizzing travellers between quaysides. Water taxis are flexible enough to serve all parts of Abu Dhabi Island and transport hubs, making connections to the international airport easy. The well designed transport infrastructure makes commuting to downtown Abu Dhabi or Dubai simple. As we discovered, it is also an absolute pleasure to take a short stroll through the district stopping for refreshments at a charming waterside cafe with breathtaking views. Life in Al Raha Beach offers a relaxed vibe where residents can take the ferry to the office, island-hop to visit friends in precincts along the shore and move freely around districts soaking up all that each unique setting has to offer. These are exciting times for Al Raha Beach and its inhabitants. Since 2010 Al Muneera, Al Zeina and Al Bandar have opened their doors to welcome new tenants and owners alike. 21 SIMPLY ABU DHABI AL RAHA BEACH A GATEWAY TO THE CITY
