Abu Dhabi: This Ramadan, visitors and residents can visit The Founder’s Memorial at night.
The memorial is a permanent national tribute commemorating Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, which is located at the corner of Corniche Road and 18th Street.
The memorial features The Constellation, a dynamic three-dimensional portrait of Shaikh Zayed that can be experienced differently from within the memorial’s landscape and other vantage points.
In keeping with the significance of Ramadan as a month of spiritual renewal, visitors can look forward to a range of personal encounters with art, landscape, words, stories and multimedia experiences that will deepen their understanding of Shaikh Zayed’s legacy and values.
Cultural guides
Entry to the monument is free.
Visitors are also invited to explore the space with complimentary guided tours from Emirati Cultural Guides.
Available in both Arabic and English, the tours offer visitors the opportunity to enrich their understanding of Shaikh Zayed, the causes he championed and the values he embodied.
During Ramadan, the memorial will be open from 9am to 2pm and 8pm to 1am daily.
While the Welcome Centre will be closed during the non-operating hours, visitors can make the most of their memorial experience as they stroll along the wider space including the Sanctuary and Heritage Gardens and the elevated walkway, which will remain open throughout Ramadan.
