Does anyone know the location of Al Nawras Island in Abu Dhabi? I tried searching for it on Google Maps but couldn’t find it. Is it supposed to be somewhere to the east of Yas Island? Does anyone know its exact location?
So this project has no visible signs of being built... anyone know anything? It was first meant to open in 2023 and now saying 2025 but I can find nothing at all about actual construction taking place.
