Al Raha Beach

Along Abu Dhabi’s sheltered coastline, islands are shaped by inlets and canals, criss-crossed by bridges. Eleven precincts will emerge within one waterfront development, each with its own distinct personality and appeal. Home to 120,000 residents enjoying picturesque views across the water, Al Raha Beach stretches over 11 km of dynamic living. As the new gateway to Abu Dhabi, Al Raha Beach has been conceived by the finest specialist architects and contractors in the world, creating a community where transport, safety and quality of life will be integral to the design. Infrastructure has been designed to ease accessibility, combining several types of transport to smooth-out transit requirements, each interconnecting with the others at the transport hubs. Traffic and pedestrians will be able to move freely throughout the city, while commuting to downtown Abu Dhabi or Dubai is made easy. The Light Rail Transit (LRT) system will provide speedy mass transit throughout the development, along with the fast ‘jet cat’ catamaran and ferries zooming between quaysides. Safety and security will be uppermost at Al Raha Beach. Civil defense services will include police stations, marine police and a dedicated fire department. Clinics will be open 24 hours a day with emergency ambulance services. To ensure a car-free environment above ground, there'll be an abundance of underground parking. There will also be hotels for visitors and holidaymakers. Needless to say, educational facilities will be second to none. The ALDAR Academies are to have a strong team of highly qualified teachers. They will deliver a stimulating curriculum, which will enable your children to maximize their potential and become life-long learners.
