This 60-minute kayaking tour lets you experience the Louvre Abu Dhabi's striking architecture from the surrounding waters.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the kayaking sign near the museum's parking entrance. A golf cart takes you to the launch point (or walk 10-15 minutes). Your guide provides a safety briefing, fits your life jacket, and demonstrates paddle technique. No prior kayaking experience is needed.

Features

• Launch from Saadiyat Island and paddle through calm waters surrounding the museum's structure.

• Pass under the iconic dome with its 7,850 star-shaped metal openings that create a "rain of light" effect.

• Glide past outdoor art installations positioned around the museum with reflections on the water's surface.

• Your guide explains the dome's design, 8 layers of geometric cladding inspired by interlaced palm fronds.

• Paddle close to the museum's white walls that appear to float on the Arabian Sea.
