Abu Dhabi Developments

Abu Dhabi is a modern city with a modern view. Many projects are currently being development, a glimpse on what Abu Dhabi's projects are can be found at http://www.tdic.ae/default.aspx. One project which really catched my attention was Saadiyat Island.

Saadiyat Island is project planned to be completed by 2018, it is made to occupy 160,000 residents on 27 square kilometers. In this island there will be seven districts with 29 hotels and 3 marinas. Saadiyat Island will be the talk of the year in 2018 since it is developed to be more like a tourist attract rather than an enviromental rescue.

In my opinion Saadiyat Island looks like it will be a great project will many attractive features and activites, but won't be any help to our enviromental crisis. As announced by Saadiyat Island's main website that only one district out of seven will be an fully eco-address. other districts will be 7 stars hotels which in no way will be happy to save the enviroment on the account of loosing a customer's saticfaction.

However this is just an opinion, but no one knows for sure how these hotels will operate since not much information was provided on this island. All we need to do is just wait and see !
