The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an art and civilization museum, located in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The museum was inaugurated on November 8th 2017 and is part of a 30-year agreement between the city of Abu Dhabi and the French government. Round-trip transportation from your accommodation is included.

The Louvre Abu Dahbi is no small museum, the final cost of the construction is expected to be between €83 million and €108 million. In addition, US$525 million was paid by Abu Dhabi to be associated with the Louvre name, and an additional $747 million will be paid in exchange for art loans, special exhibitions and management advice. The museum is located on the Saadiyat Island Cultural District. It is approximately 24,000 square metres (260,000 sq ft) in size, with 8,000 square metres (86,000 sq ft) of galleries [2], making it the largest art museum in the Arabian peninsula.

The museum will be designed as a "seemingly floating dome structure"; its web-patterned dome allowing the sun to filter through. The overall effect is meant to represent "rays of sunlight passing through date palm fronds in an oasis." The total area of the museum will be approximately 24,000 square metres (260,000 sq ft). The permanent collection will occupy 6,000 square metres (65,000 sq ft), and the temporary exhibitions will take place over 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft).
