Aldar to open Reem Island canal

Aldar Properties is set to open one of its key amenities within its Shams development on Reem Island - a 2.4-km-long canal running through the heart of the community in Abu Dhabi.

Final testing and commissioning work is well under way ahead of its scheduled flooding early April.

The canalscape, featuring 450 trees, covers an area of 46,000 sq m, and the canal itself is crossed by 10 bridges. A total of 35 plots within Shams are positioned adjacent to the canal, ensuring that many residents will enjoy close proximity to it.
