One of our Abu Dhabi adventures was a sunset safari through Al Khatim Desert, located about an hour outside of Abu Dhabi. With its vast sand dunes and untouched desert landscape, Al Khatim provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable experience filled with dune bashing, sandboarding, and off-road driving. My family and I are not exactly adrenaline junkies, so we only participated in the off-road driving - but maybe one day I’ll step out of my comfort zone.
teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi
After many failed attempts to visit Japan, I started to wonder if I would ever get the chance to experience teamLab - the renowned interactive art collective based in Tokyo. You can imagine my excitement when I discovered there was a location right in Abu Dhabi!
teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi features immersive, multi-sensory installations that explore themes of nature, science, and the environment. Wandering through the different rooms felt like stepping into another world, with each space offering a completely unique sensory experience. Beyond the artwork itself, the museum’s architecture was equally captivating - designed by MZ Architects, the building envelope is a work of art in its own right.
I’ve also included a few photos from my walk through the Saadiyat Cultural District, which is home to an incredible collection of museums and cultural experiences - including the Louvre.
