Corniche Area

City apartments beside Abu Dhabi’s seafront.

Abu Dhabi’s Corniche area combines residential towers with beach access, parks and the coastal promenade. It is an established urban setting rather than one private compound. A home’s position along or behind the seafront affects its view, walking routes and exposure to busy roads.
