SPECIAL / January
• The roof of the Louvre Abu
Dhabi, designed by French
architect Jean Nouvel, is made
of 7850 aluminium stars of
various sizes layered on top of
each other in such a way that
still allows daylight to filter
into the spacious museum
underneath. At once hypnotising
and peaceful, the building itself
seems to float on the water.
The labyrinth of galleries inside
takes you on a journey through
art history featuring several
hundreds of works of art from
17 French museum collections.
• The Bab Al Qasr hotel
embodies a modern European
feel with the breadth of the
Middle East – in the lobby, the
world’s highest atrium seems
to reach straight up to the sky
but does not look artificial or
pompous. Authentic details and
inconspicuous but attentive
hospitality makes guests want to
return here again and again.
