About

Al Reem Island (Arabic: جزيرة الريم), commonly known as Reem Island, is a natural island 600 metres (2,000 ft) off the coast of Abu Dhabi Island. Developed since the mid-2000s as a high-density mixed-use district, it is now largely built out with residential towers and commercial uses. Since April 2023 it has formed part of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) jurisdiction. The Department of Culture and Tourism, lists Al Reem Island among the emirate's principal areas for visitor accommodation, alongside Saadiyat Island, the Corniche, and Al Maryah Island. The 2024 census recorded 59,725 usual residents.
