Sadiat Island, Arabic for “happiness island”, is a 30-minute drive from Abu Dhabi City, a large low-lying island 500 meters off the coast of Abu Dhabi Island with a total area of 27 square kilometers. It costs $27 billion to build commercial, residential, and leisure areas on the island. Currently under construction, expected to be completed in 2018, this is Abu Dhabi's emerging cultural center and entertainment resort.
