AL LULU ISLAND

Lulu Island is a man made island composed of recovered sand with a surface area of 469 hectares. From the Abu Dhabi Breakwater to the Zayed Sea Port, it stretches. The late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan saw the property as a critical component of Abu Dhabi's development.

Al Lulu Island is a part of Sasaki's master plan which aimed to establish a low-rise, wide island with world-class resorts and conference centers, as well as a mix of housing, industrial, and office buildings. In 1988, land recovery began and was completed in 1992.

The Sasaki master plan proposes a diversified and climate appropriate wider community network that connects the many districts envisioned. A seaside, canal, or attractive public park would be within a five minute walk of any residential neighborhood. Sorouh Real Estate is now developing the island as a mixed business and private venture, following the cancellation of a few plans. The development of the groundbreaking approach was assigned to Arquitectonica. The deliberate actions help to retain Abu Dhabi's reputation as a coastal city. During the mid-1990s, Al Lulu Island was also rumored to be a visiting destination for a Disney entertainment park.

The previous ship benefit was abruptly terminated on January 1, 2009, due to unexplained "redesigns" on the island. As time went by, access became more and more reliant on private boats. Al Lulu Island has been officially closed to the general public, with the only means of entry now being via private watercraft, although it has nonetheless been used by the general public. There are now plans to extensively rebuild the island, which include the construction of another continuous extension connecting the island to the mainland, as well as the construction of Lulu Tower, a 400-meter historic landmark tower.
