Abu Dhabi Beach Project Has Begun

A site supervisor said the beach project includes “the construction of shops, bathrooms and toilets, amusement centers for children, bigger gates and other facilities. More palm trees would also be planted.” While Abu Dhabi is an island there are limited beaches due to many massive construction projects. The construction of the Dh1.5 billion Emirates Palace Hotel, for example, occupies more than 500,000 square meters and removed a large swath of beach on the southwestern flank, beyond the Hilton Hotel.
