AL FAY PARK
Where the city meets the shade
Al Fay is an inclusive park that has something for everyone.
A park that can be explored all year round. A beautiful natural
retreat right in the heart of the city that can take you away
from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
Discover urban nature at its best
Al Fay is the first of its kind in Abu Dhabi, designed using only plants, grasses and bushes that are native to the region. The designers used the landscaping and planting to maximize the potential of the site, by creating a micro-climate, that reduces traffic noise and temperature and sustains a forest-like environment. The downward slope from the road leads to the central park and funnels the cooler southern breeze down into the park while local grasses and bushes reduce sand infiltration and movement.
