With the summer approaching quickly, days are going to get warmer to the point that it becomes almost impossible to step out under the blistering sun. However, it seems that people in Abu Dhabi, Al Mamoura have a reason to rejoice. After all, a 70 m long walkway offers pedestrians and customers a cooler outdoor experience even during the peak summers. We are talking about Abu Dhabi’s first air-conditioned outdoor walkway.
Air Conditioned Walkway In Al Mamoura
The Department of Municipalities and Transport opened an air-conditioned outdoor walkway back in December 2024. However, it’s only now that the people will truly start to understand how much of a difference it has created. A work with a project offering a more pedestrian-friendly experience, it’s truly perfect for the UAE summers. After all, it lets customers experience the outdoors in a cooler setting even during the peak summer.
Coming to the walkway, this passage features a built-in cooling system. As revealed in a report by Khaleej Times, this system is beneath the floor, and it has noise-reducing walls. Moreover, the roof allows filtered sunlight to come in, thereby reducing the heat. So even though natural light does come streaming in, it helps in maintaining a cooler environment inside the walkway.

This is truly great news as it’s no secret that summers can be quite uncomfortable in the UAE. With the temperatures climbing to and beyond 45°C, this corridor can provide major relief to the pedestrians. Have you also seen this air-conditioned walkway in Abu Dhabi?
