The waterfront development is fast becoming the heartbeat of the capital as over 500 international social media influencers have visited since its launch in November 2021, recording over 45 million online impressions.<\/p>\n

Home to over 330 unique species and more than 46,000 animals, The National Aquarium of Abu Dhabi (TNA) is Al Qana\u2019s flagship tourist attraction and \u201cthe world of natural treasures\u201d has welcomed over 350,000 visitors since the beginning of the year, 20% of whom were tourists. TNA\u2019s educational programs in the form of its \u2018Professors Aquademy\u2019 and \u2018Junior Marine Biologist\u2019 programmes have been hugely popular with families and children and have hosted over 25,000 students via school tours over 4 months.<\/p>\n

Al Qana\u2019s incredible range of original and new F&B outlets, 80% of which are Emirati-owned and managed, have also added heavily to the project\u2019s success. Among the several new restaurants that have been added to Al Qana\u2019s social dining portfolio are Tjaarz Coffee Works, PAVO Restaurant, Cartel Coffee, Space Caf\u00e9, Grand Beirut Restaurant, Pinky Fish Restaurant, Wing it Restaurant, Slaw Burger, Otoro Restaurant, Adrift Burger, Blue Waves Caf\u00e9, Cave Caf\u00e9, Ozo Restaurant, Terra Restaurant, Joud Caf\u00e9, Tazal, and Oii Restaurant.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Al Qana\u2019s exponential success is only set to continue in Q3 of 2022 with the launching of multiple F&B concepts. Cinemacity will be immersive in its own right; the theatre has 15 luxurious screens to provide the best possible viewing experience of global blockbuster movie releases. Moreover, Pixoul Gaming, a unique Virtual Reality and Esports gaming hub will become a hotspot for video game aficionados as it showcases both immersive and modern gaming capabilities under one roof.
