Masdar City

Masdar City is an ambitious sustainable urban development project designed to be a zero-carbon city, initiated in 2006. Located about 17 kilometres from Abu Dhabi, it features modern architecture, smart technology, and renewable energy systems, all nestled within a compact, walkable layout that prioritises public transport and pedestrian pathways. Visits typically highlight the innovative Masdar Institute and the iconic wind towers that offer natural cooling. Plan to stroll through the pedestrian-friendly streets in the cooler months, when temperatures invite exploration. Be aware that the city is still under development, with some areas and facilities ongoing or not yet operational.
