Abu Dhabi in ten places, ranked.

1️⃣ Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque - go an hour before sunset and stay for the lights. Entry is free, registration is online, and the dress code is enforced.

2️⃣ Louvre Abu Dhabi - come late afternoon, when the light through the dome moves across the galleries.

3️⃣ Qasr Al Watan - a working presidential palace you can walk through. Stay for the evening projection show.

4️⃣ teamLab Phenomena - the newest thing on Saadiyat. Book ahead, it sells out on weekends.

5️⃣ Mangrove National Park - kayak through it at sunrise, before the heat and the crowds.

6️⃣ Emirates Palace - order the gold cappuccino, then take your time with the building itself.

7️⃣ Qasr Al Hosn - the oldest building in the city, and where Abu Dhabi started.

8️⃣ Ferrari World - Formula Rossa is the fastest rollercoaster on the planet. Indoors, so it works in any heat.

9️⃣ Yas Marina Circuit - the Grand Prix in season, and on quiet evenings you can cycle the track yourself.

🔟 Warner Bros World - fully indoors and best with kids.

Save this for your trip. We post about the UAE every week - follow along.

Every famous island in the UAE was poured from sand. Ramhan wasn’t.

📩 Comment RAMHAN and we’ll send you the floor plans, prices and payment plan.

Ramhan Island sits off the Abu Dhabi coast between Yas and Saadiyat — 400 hectares of natural mangroves, bays and beaches, kept deliberately low-density. Until now the only homes here were villas. Eagle Hills is bringing the island’s first beachfront apartments.

Duplexes with a private lift that opens inside your apartment — sales open 28 October.

📩 Leave a + in the comments and I’ll send you the layouts and the payment plan before the launch.

Nine Collective by wasl is a single tower in Wasl 1 holding 215 residences, built from nine stacked geometric blocks — each one turned slightly, so every floor is shaped differently and the layouts are unlike anything else in the city.

🛗 Exclusive duplexes
Three, four and five bedrooms across two floors, each with its own private lift opening directly into the residence. The largest runs over 8,000 sqft.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Amenities split by generation
A full floor for small children. A separate floor for teenagers. And another for adults — three levels, so nobody has to share.

📐 Sizes and prices
▪️ 2 bedroom — 1,946–2,163 sqft, from AED 4.4M
▪️ 3 bedroom — 3,086–3,121 sqft, from AED 7.4M
▪️ 4 bedroom — 4,071–4,287 sqft, from AED 10M
▪️ 3 bedroom duplex — 4,212–4,288 sqft, from AED 17.7M
▪️ 4 bedroom duplex — 5,507–5,718 sqft, from AED 20.7M
▪️ 5 bedroom duplex — 8,115–8,253 sqft, from AED 28M

Even the smallest residence here outsizes most three-bedrooms in Dubai.

💰 Payment plan 40/60
5% on booking, then 5% every six months, 60% on handover in April 2030. Service charge around AED 28.5 per sqft.

📝 Expressions of interest
AED 100,000 for a two-bedroom, 200,000 for a three, 300,000 for a four, 500,000 for a duplex.

Developed by wasl, one of Dubai’s largest government-owned real estate groups.

A mortgage no longer blocks you from the UAE Golden Visa — the AED 1M rule is gone.

📩 Comment VISA and we’ll send you a shortlist of projects that qualify.

Until this year, buying with a mortgage meant paying 50% of the price, or at least AED 1 million, before you could apply for the 10-year residency. Since February 2026 that requirement has been removed. What counts now is the value of the property itself.

🔑 How it works
▪️ Property valued at AED 2 million or more, per Dubai Land Department
▪️ One property or several, as long as the total reaches the threshold
▪️ Mortgaged property qualifies — the bank issues a No Objection Certificate
▪️ Joint owners can each apply if the property meets AED 2 million
▪️ Off-plan can qualify, with conditions confirmed case by case

📄 What the visa gives you
▪️ 10 years, renewable
▪️ No minimum stay — residency holds even if you live abroad
▪️ Sponsorship for spouse, children and parents
▪️ Self-sponsored, no employer needed

💰 What it costs
DLD registration around AED 4,000–5,200, visa application around AED 2,280, plus medical and Emirates ID.

📌 What it means in practice
A buyer taking a AED 2.5 million apartment with a 25% deposit used to need AED 1.25 million paid before applying. Now the same purchase qualifies from the deposit.

📩 Comment VISA and we’ll send you a shortlist of projects that qualify for the Golden Visa.
