Al Lulu Island (Arabic: جزيرة اللؤلؤ) is a 1,050-acre (4.2 km2) man-made island off the coast of Abu Dhabi island. It stretches from the Abu Dhabi Breakwater to the Zayed Sea Port. Land reclamation was completed in 1992. After several plans which were subsequently dropped, the island is now being developed by Sorouh Real Estate as a mixed commercial and residential project. Arquitectonica was tasked with the development of the master plan. It was also rumoured that Al Lulu Island was going to be a tourist destination for a Disney theme park during the mid-90's[citation needed].
On 1 January 2009 the previous ferry service was abruptly stopped due to unspecified 'renovations' on the island. Access is now by private boat only.
Al Lulu Island is currently closed to the public, its only access now being by private boat. There are now plans to dramatically redevelop the island, these plans include the construction of a new permanent bridge connecting the island to the mainland, as well as a 400m+ landmark tower known as Lulu Tower. The construction it currently tipped not to begin before 2013.
