Living in Al Maryah Island
Al Maryah Island is Abu Dhabi's financial and business district and home to ADGM, so living here means upscale high rise apartments in a compact, walkable, distinctly urban setting. It suits professionals and executives who value a prestige waterfront address with The Galleria, Cleveland Clinic and a promenade of hotels and restaurants all within a few minutes on foot. It is polished and convenient rather than family suburban, and it can feel quiet at weekends when the offices empty out.
