I visited the Louvre Abu Dhabi in 2023, and it was a truly enriching experience. Plan to spend around 4 hours exploring the museum, which features a thoughtfully curated collection of art and historical artifacts that beautifully narrate the story of human civilization through a universal lens. While it may not house a large number of globally famous masterpieces, the depth, quality, and significance of the exhibits are undeniable. The architecture is breathtaking—modern yet seamlessly integrated with its surroundings. The museum appears to rise directly from the sea, creating an ethereal, almost dreamlike effect. One of the most unique aspects is the ability to kayak around the building, offering a rare and stunning perspective of its design. The harmony between land, sea, and structure is simply genius. Inside, the atmosphere is peaceful and calm, ideal for quiet contemplation. It's accessible and enjoyable for all age groups, from kids to adults. In a city where attractions can sometimes feel repetitive, the Louvre Abu Dhabi stands out as a serene and culturally rich experience—highly recommended. Don't miss the on-site coffee shop—it's a lovely spot to unwind after your visit. With its stylish ambiance and views of the water, it's perfect for reflecting on the museum experience over a good cup of coffee or a light snack.

Absolutely splendid, the journey was beyond my expectations. We start with the tickets. Very affordable, you can get a discount simply by being a UAE resident. You still have the Fazaa discount as well. The museum itself is a piece of art, the architechture is mind-blowing, you could admire it for hours. I know that Louvre love to make wonderful architectures for their museums, with the one in Paris that i visited few yeras back, but this one in AUH is really eye-catching. The galleries were fascinating, from prehistoric stones, to the modern arts i really enjoyed it. To all art enthusiasts, i would really recommend to check it out, you will not forget that experience.

Must-visit in Abu Dhabi. A spectacular building with an absolutely stunning exhibition. A free audio guide is available on your mobile phone in many languages, offering a 60-minute tour through the most important exhibits. It’s best to visit right at opening time, when the place is still quiet and can be enjoyed at its finest.

The Louvre Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary place that combines art, culture, and architecture in an absolutely stunning way. The building itself, designed by Jean Nouvel, is truly impressive – its distinctive dome creates a magical interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of a "rain of light." The museum's interior houses an impressive collection of art from around the world – from antiquity to the present – beautifully juxtaposed to showcase humanity's shared heritage. The service and organization are top-notch, and the atmosphere fosters reflection and wonder. This is not just a museum, but a true journey through the history of art and cultures. An absolute must-see in Abu Dhabi! 🏛️✨🎨
