From this hotel, take about a 25-minute drive to Abrahamic Family House, an amazing religious cultural site in Abu Dhabi. Ghanaian-British architect Sir David Adjaye OM OBE designed it so the three houses of worship, Muslim, Christian and Jewish, are designed in equal stature, size and materiality to eliminate any sense of hierarchy. These structures are linked by an elevated garden that can be used as a shared space for gatherings and connection.
