Manarat Al Saadiyat is an exhibition space in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, located in the Saadiyat Cultural District on Saadiyat Island. It is also known as the Saadiyat Gallery. The venue presents contemporary art and a range of cultural programs, and serves as a cultural hub within the island's developing cultural district.
What a visit offers
For visitors interested in contemporary art, Manarat Al Saadiyat provides a focused setting to see current work and the cultural programming that accompanies it. As an exhibition space rather than a large collection museum, it suits a shorter visit, and it pairs well with time spent exploring the wider district.
