Beach
Al Raha Beach[2][3] is located on a beach along the highway to Dubai, neighboring Abu Dhabi International Airport, Khalifa City and Yas Island. It is 5.2 million square meters large and planned for 120.000 residents in over 3000 properties. Among the commercial buildings are the developer's headquarters. Flagship communities are Al Bandar, Al Hadeel, Al Muneera and Al Zeina. But the beach has not been opened to the public since construction.
