Living in Al Reem Island — 60-second summary
Al Reem Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s most established high-rise residential addresses, connected to the city by bridges and built around master districts such as Shams Abu Dhabi, Marina Square and City of Lights. The island is known for skyline views, a wide selection of apartment towers, and a growing set of parks, retail and waterfront promenades. Many residents choose Reem for its balance: modern buildings and amenities with a commute that still feels city-close.
