Building the Nation

Ronald Stephen Barrot, Aldar CEO

 

The dynamics of change in Abu Dhabi are such that it is difficult to stand back from the day-to-day rhythm of existence and gain a clear overview of the innovative model of integrated leisure development coming into existence.  Many world firsts are attracted to the development of Abu Dhabi's Yas Island, the region's latest mega theme park and leisure attraction under the guidance of Aldar.
