Al Lulu Island
Al Lulu Island is a 1,050-acre (4.2 km2) man-made island off the coast of Abu Dhabi island. It stretches from the Abu Dhabi Breakwater to the Zayed Sea Port. Land reclamation was completed in 1992. After several plans which were subsequently dropped, the island is now being developed by Sorouh Real Estate as a mixed commercial and residential project. Arquitectonica was tasked with the development of the master plan. It was also rumoured that Al Lulu Island was going to be a tourist destination for a Disney theme park during the mid-90's. Lulu Island off the Abu Dhabi coast is officially opened for the public since april 2007. On 1 January 2009 the previous ferry service was abruptly stopped due to unspecified 'renovations' on the island. Access is now by private boat only.
