Zayed Port, Abu Dhabi, UAE | Abu Dhabi Ports Company | AED 80m / £15m | 2015 |
The new building houses all of the key passenger facilities together with souvenir shops, restaurants and offices on a mezzanine level. It also features tourist information services and passport border control counters.
Traditional Arabic ornaments, colours, and shapes, combined with modern architectural elements, define the building’s distinctive style which celebrates the UAE’s cultural heritage and pays tribute to its long maritime history.
The roof design is a distinctive lattice structure, taking the ghaf, the country’s national tree, as inspiration, while wooden features inside reflect traditional dhow sailing vessels.
The new terminal is a testament to Abu Dhabi's commitment to providing world class infrastructure and services to support its growing tourism sector.
