About Fahid Island
Fahid Island introduces a new era of coastal living in Abu Dhabi. Natural mangrove forests purify the air, salt-water swims are always within a five-minute stroll, and green transport makes exploring effortless—for you and for the planet. Sustainably designed homes sit moments from one-of-a-kind retail, dining and world-class schools, all connected by shaded walkways that weave fitness into everyday life.
Here's why Fahid Island's well-being is the cornerstone rather than only a perk.
Wellness isn’t an activity, it’s a lifestyle. Fahid Island is planned around comprehensive health integration, with community-wide features and facilities that promote holistic health.
Science has proven that walking 7,000 steps daily can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. That’s why Fahid Island is seamlessly connected by 15 km of footpaths that keep everything within walking distance.
A higher density of greenery is proven to boost cognitive function and raise IQ scores by 2.6 points per 3% increase. That’s why Fahid Island features the highest level of urban vegetation.
Mangroves are one of nature’s most effective carbon-capture systems. On Fahid Island, these work together with medical-grade filtration systems and air-monitoring stations to reduce air particles by 60%.
Studies show that daily conversations can extend life by up to 15 years. Inspired by this, Fahid Island’s cultural programming and integrated island school are designed not just to extend life but enrich it with meaningful connections.
Green transport is one of the most effective paths to sustainability. Fahid Island’s EV charging stations, water taxis, bicycle stations, and green mobility infrastructure keep emissions per capita 13% lower than any other destination in the UAE.
People are a product of their environments. Fahid Island features 7.5 acres of dedicated open space per 1000 residents, making room for multiple playgrounds, parks and recreational facilities to make fitness easily accessible to all.
