Abu Dhabi has introduced its first fully air-conditioned outdoor walkway in the Al Nahyan area, near the Al Mamoura building. This climate-controlled pedestrian path maintains a comfortable temperature year-round, offering a refreshing escape from the heat.
Features and Design
The walkway isn’t just a basic tunnel; its design allows natural sunlight to filter through while keeping the cool air inside. It incorporates advanced cooling technology and sound insulation to ensure a peaceful and comfortable experience. Along the path, you’ll find cafés, retail outlets, and outdoor seating areas, making it possible to enjoy the space in any season.
Future Innovations
The Department of Municipalities and Transport has plans to introduce more climate-friendly innovations in Abu Dhabi’s public spaces. While fully air-conditioned streets could be a possibility in the future, only time will tell.
