Many people have watched the thrilling Fast & Furious 7, parts of which were filmed in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, including scenes showing Abu Dhabi’s 8-star hotel — Emirates Palace. Can you imagine? The interior of Emirates Palace is lavishly opulent, predominantly decorated in white and gold, with many furnishings crafted from solid gold — living up to its 8-star status.

8-Star Accommodation in Abu Dhabi – The Ultimate in Luxury

In Abu Dhabi, even 7 stars aren’t enough. The 8-star Emirates Palace on the Arabian Gulf coast cost $3 billion to build, spans 100 hectares, and is more than just a palace-like exterior — inside, there are 1,002 Swarovski crystal chandeliers, 102 elevators, 20 fountains, and up to 8,000 date palms. The hotel also offers private beach access stretching 1.3 kilometers along the pristine shoreline, where you can dine in the evening.

Abu Dhabi Island Museum – Louvre Abu Dhabi

After a decade of construction, the only overseas branch of the Louvre Paris officially opened in Abu Dhabi in November 2017. The Louvre Abu Dhabi features a predominantly white architectural design, with a perforated dome that casts numerous irregular, shimmering light spots inside when hit by sunlight. The museum displays artworks from both the East and the West. In addition to traditional exhibits, it also includes a Children’s Museum designed for kids aged 6 to 12, aiming to teach children the beauty of art and nurture their spirit.

▲ These descending light spots are called “rain of light.” The inspiration for the perforated dome came from Abu Dhabi’s palm trees, where sunlight filtering through the fronds creates dappled patterns on the ground.

A Water Show to Rival Macau’s – Dubai’s La Perle Offers a New Experience

In late August 2017, La Perle, directed by Franco Dragone, the creative director behind Cirque du Soleil and the producer of The House of Dancing Water in Macau, held its premiere performance, becoming Dubai’s first permanent theatrical show. The La Perle show takes place in a brand-new theater in Dubai’s Al Habtoor City. The stage features a central water stage that can hold up to 2.7 million liters of water. The stage design is intricate and unique, with only 14 rows of seats in the theater, all offering completely unobstructed 270-degree views so every audience member can fully enjoy the performance as actors move through the water with dazzling lighting effects — truly an unforgettable experience.
