Exterior view of the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi entrance plaza on Saadiyat Island. The building’s architecture features 30 indoor galleries offering 11,600 square metres of exhibition space, complemented by 23,000 square metres of outdoor display zones. Central to the structure is an atrium connecting these spaces, with ten sculptural cones forming the skyline—nine wrapped in stainless steel mesh and one finished with onyx and glass. These cones, reaching heights up to 88 metres, are more than aesthetic elements; they are functional, capturing breezes and providing shade through passive cooling techniques to lessen energy use in the desert environment. The museum complex also includes a dedicated center for art and technology, specialized children’s educational facilities, archives, a research library, and a state-of-the-art conservation laboratory.

Nearly 2 million international tourists visited the Republic of Korea in June, contributing to a significant milestone as the total number of foreign arrivals in the first six months of the year exceeded 10 million. Data released by the government and verified by Emirates News Agency confirm that Korea’s foreign tourist numbers topped 10 million in H1, driven by persistent double-digit growth in key regional markets.
