Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a very unique building in Abu Dhabi.
Our tour drove next to it and we were able to appreciate its futuristic shape.

As we drove through Abu Dhabi on our way to Dubai, my wife and I passed by a very unique office building. The Aldar Headquarters building is a circular office building, the first of its kind in the Middle East. The 23 floor building uses a diagonal grid of steel in order to achieve this architectural design.
This is another tribute to the ingenuity of the architects and builders in the United Arab Emirates.

Also known as the coin building.
Amazing Architecture.
Definitely stop by when your visiting Abu Dhabi. You won’t be able to get inside. Taking pictures from the outside is okay. It’s just a really unique and cool building.

Really impressive work of art and very Gram worthy pictures can be taken right outside of the building. Inside the building is also nice but the security to get inside is very tight!

This is a distinctive futuristic circular building near the Al Raha beach hotel.
You will drive past it if you are going to Abu Dhabi from Yas Island and you can also see it from a distance if you are driving out of the city.
The building itself is just an office block.

Hi- Its an iconic Building built in 2008/2009.
Its not a tourist attraction as such, but worth taking a picture because its such a unique construction
Its actually an office block and accomodates the Headquarters of ALDAR who are the developer for the RAHA Beach
