Louvre Abu Dhabi

Abu DhabiLandmarks2–3 hours

Louvre Abu Dhabi is a landmark attraction listed under Abu Dhabi activities at RAAHHI TOURS. Louvre Abu Dhabi, in the Saadiyat Cultural District, grew out of an agreement between the UAE and France and opened in 2017. Architect Jean Nouvel's building sits under a 180-metre dome whose perforated layers scatter sunlight across the walkways, which the museum refers to as the 'rain of light'. More than 600 works are shown in 12 galleries ordered by period, from prehistory and early civilisations through the rise of Islam to the present, with works lent by the Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Centre Pompidou and other French museums. Guests staying in Dubai can choose the 'from Dubai' option, which adds a return transfer to the ticket. A Children's Museum is also on site. The museum is closed on Mondays. Listed duration or timing: 2–3 hours.
