Al Raha Beach - Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi development (Al bateen Wharf)

(TDIC) Tourism Development and Investment Company, try to make cool cities in UAE which is working with public and private sectors to develop sustainable project and try to decrease carbon dioxide emissions which cause global warming. Now (TDIC) are working in many designs to develop Abu Dhabi such as The Legoon Hotel & Offices, Grand Corniche Hotel, and more and more. And one of these projects is Al bateen Wharf.


The 54,000 square metre site will be known as the Al Bateen Wharf and will include a San Francisco-style Fishermen's Marina and the Al Bateen Wharf Hotel. The 400-room hotel will also have a serviced residential wing with 200 apartments. It will be developed by the UAE's multi-disciplined Belbadi Enterprises in partnership with Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), the project's master developer and the company which manages and develops the tourism assets of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA). And about the features the company applies their health club and shipyard showcasing the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building and spa as well as state-of-the-art business and conference centers. It will have shops at its street level, underground parking, a rooftop late dining restaurant, rooftop plaza and an eco-roof garden. The Fishermen's Marina will include berths for 285 fishing boats and 38 racing dhows and will retain the Bateen shipyard which has remained unchanged for years and showcases the ancient skills of Arabian dhow building. The dry-stack facility will have a maximum capacity for 200 boats. Hydraulic lifts are provided for each of the racing dhow berths in order to lift the boats out of the water after each race.



Finally, I think AL bateen Wharf projects will lead to an increase of the tourist's rate and it will make cool cities in UAE which is one of the most important ways to reduce CO2 emission.
