Abu Dhabi - Arab Today
A new 2.4-kilometre canal on Reem Island is undergoing final testing before opening next month.
Developer Aldar Properties said commissioning work on the project is well under way ahead of the scheduled flooding in April.
The canal, which is crossed by 10 bridges, runs through the Shams development and features landscaping with 450 trees, covering an area of 46,000 square metres.
"Shams is becoming one of the most sought-after destinations in the city, thanks to the quality of the developments and its prime location on Reem Island," said Talal Al Dhiyebi, chief development officer, Aldar Properties.
"This new canal will run through the heart of the development, and provide many areas for meeting up, exercising, and socialising.
"We look forward to its opening, in addition to other upcoming community events and amenities in the near future."
Aldar is close to completing more than 23km of walkways, 1,550 metres of cycle paths and 3,650m of promenades on Reem Island along with a number of parks and a public beach overlooking the mangroves.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
