Abu Dhabi Unveils Al Maryah Waterfront
Al Maryah Waterfront has yet again set a new standard in urban living in Abu Dhabi. This is the newest leisure and lifestyle destination in the city that will mix nature, entertainment, and community in a new way. The official commencement of the Al Maryah Waterfront took place on Sunday, by the Mubadala Investment Company. Along with other goals, it aims to become a go-to destination for families, friends, and tourists from all over the world.
What Makes Al Maryah Waterfront So Special?
The most iconic element of the new waterfront spectacle is the eye-catching, magical 30-meter sphere. The sphere will surround itself with flowing water and with the backdrop of the calm waters of the bay. Over 1000 AI-powered water jets support this attraction and will rise as high as 75 meters in the sky. Furthermore, it will be performed to the original music by Ramin Djawadi, who is the famous film score composer of the most memorable soundtracks in TV shows. The creator of these features is none other than WET, the world’s premier water design firm.
Key Features of the Development
- Seaboardwalk Extension: Visitors will be able to walk through a newly developed boardwalk. You can take a walk there or stand and witness the choreographed fountain show.
- Outdoor Cooling System: A smart, shaded cooling design that will make the space comfortable throughout the entire year.
- F&B Zones and Event Spaces: Dedicated areas for dining, pop-ups, and public events. All of this, along with the waterfront, will create a sensory experience out of the waterfront.
Official Groundbreaking Ceremony
Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, the Deputy Group CEO of Mubadala, and Dr Bakheet Al Katheeri, the CEO of UAE Investments, formally officiated the groundbreaking of the project.
