Operated by Costa Azzurra , the electric catamaran service is certainly something visitors Louvre Abu Dhabi must not miss. Lasting for 30 minutes at the cost of AED350 or for an hour at the cost of AED600, every catamaran can sit up to two people at a time. So, you might want to take this tour with your special one! It should be noted that this tour runs every day between 10 AM to 10 PM, which means visitors are expected to arrive 15 minutes before their slot, according to the information available on the official website.

Not The Only Water Related Experience Available Here

However, at this point, it’s worth noting that this is not the only water-related experience that is available at the iconic landmark in Abu Dhabi. Perched on the Arabian Gulf, this museum had previously launched guided tours on a kayak! However, unlike the catamaran ride, the kayak tour runs only one trip daily for up to 25 people. Moreover, this service is available from Tuesday to Sunday and it costs AED126 per person. As such, this tour begins at 5:30 PM and lasts for about an hour.

Don’t Forget To Explore The Ongoing Exhibitions

And while you’re here, once you’re done taking the ride, don’t forget to check out the museum’s ongoing exhibition. Yes, this includes Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design, which presently features 400 pieces of jewellery, textiles, photographs, and drawings. All of these show the influences of Islamic art on Cartier’s designs. Another exhibition called Letters Of Light is also happening at the museum, which presents holy books of the three Abrahamic religions – the Christian bible, the Hebrew, and the Quran. Not to mention, you also get to explore sacred texts featuring works of skilled calligraphers, artists and bookbinders.

Sail around Louvre Abu Dhabi on an electric catamaran

Visitors to Louvre Abu Dhabi can now enjoy the marvels of the museum via a catamaran cruise.

From Wednesday, guests can book an electric catamaran tour for a sail around the museum. The experience costs Dh350 for 30 minutes or Dh600 for an hour, with up to two people per catamaran.

Operated by Costa Azzurra, the tour runs daily from 10am to 10pm, and visitors are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior to their slot.

This is not the only water-related experience at the striking Louvre Abu Dhabi , perched on the Arabian Gulf.

The museum previously launched a guided tour on a kayak. Unlike the catamaran ride, the kayak tour runs one trip daily for up to 25 people, from Tuesday to Sunday. It costs Dh126 per person with the tour beginning at 5.30pm and lasting an hour.

Once the water-based tours conclude, guests can check out the museum's ongoing exhibitions, including Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design , which features 400 pieces of jewellery, drawings, textiles and photographs showing the influence of Islamic art on Cartier's designs.

Louvre Abu Dhabi is also the perfect place to view the nightly drone show , part of the city-wide Manar Abu Dhabi light art exhibition, running until January 30. The 24-minute show, one of many commissioned for the exhibition, depicts Saadiyat Island's architectural attractions, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi and a rendering of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi , due to open in 2025.

Apart from taking a tour on a kayak around the Louvre Abu Dhabi , now you have the opportunity to learn about the museum’s impressive architecture via an electric catamaran cruise. 

Operated by the Costa Azzurra company, catamaran tours take place every day of the week from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. A tour can last 30 minutes or an hour. The first option costs AED 350, and the second one costs AED 600, with up to two people per catamaran in both cases.

The minimum age of a participant is 18 years old. Those who are younger must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that the participants should arrive 15 minutes earlier to get ready.

Situated on Saadiyat Island and surrounded by water, the Louvre Abu Dhabi Museum covers 24,000 sqm. It was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, a winner of the Pritzker Prize (an analogue of the Nobel Prize in architecture). In this project, the architect has combined oriental traditions and modern design. 

The museum comprises more than 50 snow-white pavilions and covered passages separated by many water channels and boasts a huge openwork dome, which is a true architectural marvel. The dome is made of durable materials (steel, iron, and aluminium) and seems to be woven from white lace. It creates a shadow that resembles “the shadow of date palms in an oasis”, and visitors feel as if the museum is under the open sky on the high seas.

To get more information and book an electric catamaran ride, please visit the official website of Louvre Abu Dhabi .

Among the other exciting activities offered by the museum are a drawing class and the Art History Walks Series . You can also watch Mindful Art Moments (a series of videos of three artworks from the museum collection) and a webinar studying the role of art engagement in museums and galleries to improve one’s health and well-being.
