Reem Island

Today we had a walk around Shams and Central districts of Reem Island. This blip is of Gate Tower

Reem Island is a natural island 600 metres off the coast of Abu Dhabi island. Located off the northeastern coast of Abu Dhabi city, it is a mixed purpose community with both residential, retail and commercial units.

The walk was only 8km, before finishing at Sun Tower La Brioche for breakfast. Much of the island is still being developed, however the Reem Central Park, a one-million-square-foot recreational space, opened on the island three years ago, and includes a canal walk, skateboard park, 3 basketball courts,a football court, table tennis courts etc. and several food outlets including 800 Degrees Pizzeria, Taqado Mexican Kitchen and Urban Seafood.
