Today, the same island has become one of the UAE’s most coveted luxury addresses, where residents can spend the morning walking along white-sand beaches, the afternoon inside a world-class museum, and the evening between waterfront restaurants and private beach clubs. Multimillion-dollar villas now sit alongside a growing cultural district anchored by institutions like the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
