Zayed International Airport Abu Dhabi to Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands

Al Maryah Island, home of Abu Dhabi Global Market, and its larger neighbour Al Reem Island form the capital's financial and high-rise residential district, just off the main island's northeast shore.

From AUH to the towers

Like the rest of the city, the islands are reached over one of the bridges from the mainland, with Darb charged at the weekday peaks and passed through at cost. The drive is usually twenty-five to forty minutes; the morning rush into the financial district is the slow time.

ADGM, hospitals and homes

Al Maryah is compact: ADGM Square with its towers, The Galleria Al Maryah Island, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, and hotels including Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi at Al Maryah Island and Rosewood Abu Dhabi. ADGM's jurisdiction now covers Al Reem as well, and many firms have offices there.

Al Reem is a long island of residential towers, with Reem Mall among them. Tower names repeat across developments, so pick the exact building from the address search or drop a pin on its lobby.

Hospital visits

If you are flying in for an appointment at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, choose the hospital's main entrance as the drop-off and book with a margin after your landing, as immigration times vary. A baby seat or extra luggage space can be requested when you book.

Close to the city centre

Al Maryah and Al Reem sit just off downtown Abu Dhabi, linked to the main island by short bridges, so the Corniche, the ministries and the older business districts are only minutes away. If your week is a run of meetings across ADGM and the city, an hourly chauffeur is often simpler than separate rides.

AUH to Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands: your questions

How long does the transfer take from AUH to Al Reem and Al Maryah Islands?
About 35 kilometres, usually 25 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and the time you land.
Is Al Maryah Island the same as ADGM?
ADGM is the financial free zone on Al Maryah Island, and since 2023 its jurisdiction also covers Al Reem Island.
How long is the drive to Al Reem from the airport?
Usually twenty-five to forty minutes, depending on the bridge traffic and where on the island you are going.
Can I be dropped at The Galleria?
Yes. Choose The Galleria Al Maryah Island, or the entrance you need, in the address search.
Can I book the airport run for an early ADGM meeting?
Yes. Book the transfer with your flight number and choose your ADGM tower as the drop-off; with an early landing, allow time for immigration and the bridges in the morning rush.
Are the bridges onto Al Reem and Al Maryah tolled?
The Darb gates are on the four main bridges between the mainland and Abu Dhabi island. The short bridges linking the main island with Al Reem and Al Maryah have none.
Where will my driver meet me at Zayed International Airport Abu Dhabi?
Without Meet & Greet: the parking the airport designates for pre-booked cars, marked across the airport; it can move, so follow the markings. With Meet & Greet: inside the arrivals hall, with a name board.
