A sneak peek into an evening of immersive design, dining and entertainment

The exclusive red carpet event took its guests on a multi-sensory journey through the unveiling of The Galleria Al Maryah Island’s expansion in Abu Dhabi.

Following the floor-lit passageways and exploring the activated spaces throughout the extension, those who made the invite list were greeted by an organised Flash-Mob of dancers who led them through the spaces (think pied-piper).

Attended and co-hosted by BAZAAR’s Rosemin Madhavji, The Galleria’s extension was Illuminated with custom light instillations and even some indoor fireworks. The upper floors surprised guests with a bespoke food festival even more dancers, and ‘Dessert in the Sky’.

The final element of the evening revealed a decadent seated dessert, located within the glass bridge between the current Galleria mall and the glittering new extension. As an electric violinist played and guests delighted in a spread of lip-smacking treats, the glass bridge extension allowed visitors to see both the bustling sights of Old Abu Dhabi on one side, and the serenity of the bay on the other.
