Al Qana

Al Qana is Abu Dhabi’s sprawling waterfront lifestyle destination, built around a lively canal promenade where the capital comes to eat, play and wander by the water. Far more than a single attraction, it gathers an aquarium, a butterfly sanctuary, gaming halls, an adventure park, a cinema, a marina and a long ribbon of restaurants into one walkable, fully integrated precinct on Al Maqta’ Street in the Rabdan area. Open since the early 2020s and repeatedly named a Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice destination in the world’s top 10%, Al Qana has become a favourite for family days out, sunset walks and layover dining. The best part for a first-time visitor: it is not a gated attraction, so strolling the promenade and marina costs nothing, while the individual venues charge their own admission.
