Main image

Al Lulu Island is a reclaimed island located offshore from the Abu Dhabi Corniche in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The island was created by dredging and has been the subject of proposed leisure and public-amenity developments.

There is limited permanent public infrastructure on the island and access has at times been restricted, so it is most commonly seen from the Corniche or visited by private boat. The island functions as a visible feature of Abu Dhabi’s coastal landscape rather than as a fully developed public park.

Al Lulu lies a short distance offshore from central Abu Dhabi and is part of the city’s coastal cluster of reclaimed land and islands.

  • Visibility: Visible from the Abu Dhabi Corniche and often included in short boat trips around the city's coastline.
