It was not crowded when we went to visit the museum. The exhibits were amazing, not to mention the dome architecture was truly something to marvel at as well.

The tickets should be given immediately. I had to wait for more than 20 to 25 minutes to get the tickets, which digital should have been provided immediately.

There is no 'skip-the-line' option at the Presidential Palace, so it's best to plan your visit accordingly. As for the Louvre, fast-track tickets aren't necessary as the museum is not overly crowded.

Soak in generous views of the sea and Abu Dhabi's skyline on your way to the mesmerizing dome. The Louvre comprises 55 detached buildings housing art galleries, a children's museum, an exhibition, a boutique gift shop, a restaurant, and a café.

You can also choose to indulge in an optional 1-hour kayak tour with an expert guide to appreciate the Louvre Abu Dhabi's architecture from the tranquil waters of the Arabian Sea. Immerse yourself in a unique perspective, discovering the museum's allure and history.

Museum galleries

The 12 museum galleries are chronologically arranged in an inspiring manner, narrating the story of humanity with an artistic filter. Through an incredible collection of art installations, each of these 12 chapters unveils commonalities that have existed throughout the history of humanity.

Exhibitions

Louvre hosts 4 temporary exhibitions every year. These exhibitions are the result of a unique collaboration between Abu Dhabi and France. In partnership with 13 French Museum partners, Louvre Abu Dhabi will bring together exemplary art for visitors of the Middle East.

Boutique souvenir store

However small it may be, grab a souvenir from the snug boutique shop on your way out to cherish this visit to the first Arabian Universal Museum.

Restaurant and cafe

Rest your tired legs and contemplate the art you just witnessed over coffee and a plate of sumptuous bites before you leave the premises. The eateries are designed by Jean Nouvel himself and are nothing short of extraordinary.
