Ali Eid AlMheiri, Executive Director of Mubadala RealEstate and Infrastructure said, “We are looking forward to hosting an unforgettable event in the heart of the capital for residents and visitors to Abu Dhabi.

Restaurants and retailers are putting in place preparations at The Galleria on Al Maryah Island for late night shopping and dining, with Chefs at the Rosewood Abu Dhabi preparing five star feasts for guests. 

Visitors are advised to arrive early to get the best views and allow plenty of time to pass through security. To ensure a pleasurable experience for visitors, access to the waterfront Promenade will be closed once it reaches full capacity and the Promenade will be stroller-free throughout the evening. There will be designated stroller parks in Abu Dhabi Global Market Square North and South so that guests with young children can park strollers securely and join the celebrations.
