The name of Abu Dhabi’s original art destination literally translates to mean a “place of enlightenment”. Manarat Al Saadiyat opened its doors to art lovers in 2009 and hosts on-going activities for the local community, including workshops for children and adults in topics such as printmaking, self-portraits, figure drawing, and robotics. As the first art and culture center of the Saadiyat Cultural District, the venue offers a wide variety of exhibitions, performances, productions, conferences, talks and workshops throughout the day and all year-round. 
The site also features a 250-seat auditorium, an outdoor events terrace, a café and brasserie, three galleries for temporary exhibits, a photography studio and an art studio, all of which host a variety of community events such as comedy nights, theatre workshops, sky-gazing, yoga classes and film screenings. Visitors can admire the Norman Foster-designed UAE Pavilion, home to Abu Dhabi Art, which takes place every November or enjoys a visit to the gift shop and FANR restaurant.
